TALENTED WAIAKEA STUDENT HONORED

Waiakea High School senior Nolan Kamitaki has been named one of 19 recipients of a Davidson Institute for Talent Development fellowship.

Kamitaki, 17, will receive a $25,000 scholarship from the institute, a nonprofit organization based in Reno, Nev., that supports gifted youth. Melody Lindsay, a 17-year-old Kahala resident who was featured in an Advertiser story Monday, received a $50,000 scholarship award.

Kamitaki was honored for his design of a computer simulation, "Programming a Network Approach to Contain the Spread of Epidemic," which was based on an idea that a mathematical model and computer simulation could predict the response to a viral outbreak.

The Hilo resident is captain of Waiakea's math league team and member of the science bowl team. He also was a member of the Hawai'i state bowl team.
