AMERICA | An exceptional 10-year-old boy teaches science class online, becomes one of the smartest people in the world.
An exceptional 10-year-old boy named Atitsogbe who teaches science online has become one of the youngest kid in the world to join the organization of people with high IQ – Mensa.
Sean from Georgia became known as “Sean The Science Kid” for his videos explaining everyday science wonders with an authentic curiosity on his YouTube account, Learning With Sean The Science Kid.
He became an American Mensa Member in 2024 which he shared on his instgram noting that it is one of his many accomplishments. Mensa is an organization of intelligent persons across the world.
To qualify for Mensa membership, applicants must take an approved intelligence test and score at or above the 98th percentile. Sean officially started his YouTube account in 2020 when he was 6 years old with help from his mother, Eunice Atitsogbe.

He then expanded to Facebook and Instagram, where he has over 780,000 followers. Sean’s first viral Instagram video in 2024 featured him making breakfast and explaining the science behind why breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Since then his videos have gained over a million views across social media handles. He told GMA that he fell in love with science at an early age, starting as a curious toddler.
He said he loves how science explains the universe and that he aspires to be a brain and heart surgeon when he grows up.
Sean’s mother stated that her son is self-taught and has taken it upon himself to research the topics he features online or at the library without help from her or his father.
“The things he knows, none of us taught him either me or Daddy. Nobody sits him down to teach him anything. He teaches himself a lot. So, as parents, we just give him the environment for him to do that,” Eunice said.
Eunice said she did not foresee her son’s accounts gaining so much attention online. She encourages other parents whose children have a passion or love of science or another skill to dream big.
“My message to other parents is that we paid attention to our kids because they start demonstrating these gifts at a very young age,” Eunice said.
“So, pay attention to them. As soon as you identify that this child of mine likes this, you as a parent do whatever you can to support the child, to bring that nature and gifts that child has,” she added.
