Convinced your little prodigy child could one day change the world? Then perhaps it would be a good idea to send your little Einstein over to the International Gateway for Gifted Youth (IGGY). The company is looking for the "brightest and best" kids on the planet, but they want parents to know they're "not looking for precocious, freak-show geniuses."
Next summer, IGGY will be selected 1,000 of the world's most gifted children to send to their ultra-exclusive summer camp. To qualify, candidates must be between 11 and 19 and must rank among the top 5% of students worldwide.
