Walter O'Brien Inspires at 65th Annual California State Science Fair

Walter O'Brien's life story served as an inspiration for over 1000 competitors from California middle schools and high schools. At the age of 9, O'Brien was designated a child prodigy after scoring 197 on an IQ test. He started Scorpion Computer Services at the age of 13 to service local businesses and financial institutions. He helped them navigate their introduction to analytics, computerization, and the internet. By the time he was 18, Walter was ranked the 6th fastest programmer in the world.

A computer-security expert, Walter O'Brien has worked with the Federal government, international heads of state, the United States Navy, Air Force and Fortune 500 firms to design, implement and maintain computer security and information-technology systems.

Ron Rohovit Ed.D. Deputy Director of Education at the California Science Center said, "We truly appreciate Walter's contribution to this year's Science Fair. Walter made it a memorable experience for the student competitors, some of California's best and brightest young science scholars."

Walter O'Brien said of the competition: "The California Science Center is a cornerstone in California's push to educate and encourage students to reach their full potential and to pursue careers in science and engineering. I'm proud to be part of the fabric that inspires the next generations to remain curious and remember that 'smart is cool.'"
