A social networking site, described as a thinking teenagers Facebook, that aims to prepare bright pupils for top universities, has attracted more than 2,500 members.
The site, called IGGY (the International Gateway for Gifted Youth), has been devised by academics at Warwick University.
It challenges the nations brightest 13- to 18-year-olds with a series of questions and puzzles aimed at stretching their intelligence, as well as offering them the chance to network with each other. Membership is open to any pupil recommended by their teacher on the grounds of impressing them with their proven ability or potential.
Dr Adam Boddison, academic director of the project, said: The real test is whether the pupil has the potential to perform in the top five per cent of their peers. You have to be recommended by a teacher or an academic expert who says you can make it.
It includes those who are already highly performing and a second group who dont always perform in school, and who may not be challenged sufficiently in school.
Once accepted, they can take part in a number of games and quizzes, such as following an expedition by Arctic explorer Mark Wood and predicting how his body will be affected by his travels. In another quiz, students are asked to discuss the connection between cats and maths, including the scientific theory behind how a cat flap works.
The site has also just launched its own young writers prize and is asking its members to contribute a short story of no more than 2,500 words for a cash prize of 2,000 and the chance to see themselves in print in Litro magazine.
Additionally, the site poses debate questions, such as: Is it a problem that the average age of members of the House of Lords is 69?
Membership is open to pupils in the UK and abroad, although 75 per cent of those who have already signed up are from the British Isles. It costs 120 to join but there are subsidies available for disadvantaged pupils. So far the site has been used by students in South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, as well as the UK.
One of the delights is that students can go on to it without their teacher knowing what they are doing, said Dr Boddison. They can learn by themselves and for themselves.

It’s a ‘like’: The IGGY networking site for smart pupils is a hit
Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - Concerns about a killer tick virus spread nationwide over the weekend as health authorities reported more patients who are thought to have been infected.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control said on Saturday that a 61-year-old woman in Gwangju has shown symptoms of the tick virus that has killed two people in Korea so far.
The state-run disease control agency last week confirmed that two people in Gangwon Province and Jeju died after showing signs of a high severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome or SFTS.
The virus is spread by ticks, and causes fever, vomiting and platelet and white blood cell levels to drop. The tick virus has a fatality rate of about 6 percent.
Another man in Busan died after showing symptoms of the virus on Wednesday, officials said.
The Gwangju woman is suspected to have been bitten by a tick during her trip to a mountainous area in Naju, South Jeolla Province on May 17 and currently is receiving treatment. She started to vomit and had a fever a week after the trip, said the KCDC officials adding that they will trace the infection route.
The Gwangju case is the latest in a series of reports of patients suspected of having the tick-borne virus. Patients suspected of being infected with the deadly virus have been found in South and North Chungcheong Province, Gangwon and Jeju.
Amid fast-spreading fear of the virus, the government released guidelines to prevent further infection. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food said people, particularly farmers, need to minimize skin exposure and not nap lying down in fields. The ministry also advised people to refrain from going to the toilet in hedges or other bushes and take shower immediately after spending time outdoors.
