Our Team

Nicholas Ng is a dedicated high school student with a strong passion for mathematics, computer science, and teaching. Since Grade 4, he has actively participated in national and international math contests, earning distinctions in competitions such as the Canadian Computing Competition (CCC), Canadian Senior and Intermediate Mathematics Contests (CSMC/CIMC), and the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC).

In addition to his accomplishments in mathematics, Nicholas has developed a deep interest in computer science—particularly in programming and cybersecurity. He enjoys solving algorithmic challenges and exploring how systems work behind the scenes, whether it’s writing code, understanding networks, or learning about data protection.

Nicholas co-founded Rising Stars Math Camp with the goal of inspiring younger students to build confidence, creativity, and a love for problem-solving. As an instructor and curriculum developer, he designs lessons that are both challenging and fun, helping students strengthen their math and coding foundations while developing a growth mindset.

Outside the classroom, Nicholas is an avid sports fan and athlete. He plays both baseball and basketball, and enjoys watching major sports events in his free time. He’s also passionate about weather forecasting and urban transportation systems, often spending his spare time exploring how cities move and how climate data can be analyzed.

Nicholas brings a well-rounded perspective to the camp—combining academic excellence, technical skills, and genuine enthusiasm for learning. He’s excited to share his knowledge and encourage the next generation of rising stars to discover the joy of math, science, and beyond.

Chris is a dedicated student with a deep passion for mathematics. He has qualified for high level competitions such as USAJMO, CMO, and APMO, earning distinctions including USAJMO Honor and an APMO Bronze Medal. He got invited to Canada IMO winter camp once and summer camp twice. He also achieved a perfect score on the Junior Canadian Computing Competition and placed in Group 2 at the Senior CCC.

Team competitions are an important part of his mathematical journey. As captain of a strong team, he has competed in events like SMT and BMT, leading his team to numerous awards. Along the way, he has built lasting friendships, including with his teammate Nicholas, who has shared many of these experiences with him.

Beyond competing, Chris finds joy in teaching and sharing his knowledge. Since Grade 7, he has been actively teaching and mentoring younger students.

At Rising Stars, Chris hopes to spark students’ curiosity and passion for mathematics, guiding them to appreciate its depth and beauty.
