Joseph Wu, a senior at Lake Washington High School was named one of the Washington state winners of the 2010 Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement, a signature program of the Siemens Foundation administered by the College Board.
Wu has taken a total of eight AP courses to date, his favorite being U.S. History. His hobbies are Math Club and computer programming and Wu would like to pursue engineering after high school.
The other winner was Rebecca Hu, a senior at Hanford High School.
The awards recognize up to 100 of America’s top achievers in Advanced Placement Program science and mathematics courses with a $2,000 college scholarship to one male and one female student in each state. Two national winners are also recognized, each receiving a $5,000 scholarship. This year, 98 high school students in 50 states were recognized.
“These students lead the nation in performance on AP math and science courses and we are proud to support them as they strive for excellence,” said Jeniffer Harper-Taylor, president of the Siemens Foundation.
