How ICAS helped this student change the world
There are so many “naughty” students out there that who are bursting with talent. They just need the right opportunities.
Adam Ritchie (middle) was one such student. He was constantly in trouble for “rough and tumble” and failing to put in any effort, until he took ICAS Science and got a perfect 100% score.
