Amr Barouki

I am a high school senior passionate about chemistry, interdisciplinary research, and expanding access to STEM education. As a two-time gold medalist in the National Chemistry Olympiad and a member of the International Chemistry Olympiad Team of Syria, I’ve trained intensively in both theoretical and practical chemistry.

I additionally competed in regional and international programming contests like the Syrian Adolescents Programming Marathon and the International Informatics Olympiad in Teams, attending several training camps.

Beyond competition, I co-founded the Syrian Competitions & Scholarships Zone, an initiative that has guided 100+ Syrian students to educational opportunities. I have also coached over 200 students in chemistry through Olympiad training camps and outreach tours to 35+ schools across Syria. I also lead workshops on programming and digital literacy, aiming to make STEM fields more accessible to underrepresented communities.

My long-term vision is to pursue interdisciplinary research at the intersection of chemistry and technology, while continuing to invest in mentorship and education initiatives that empower others to access opportunities in STEM.
