Caleb Anderson hopes to continue his education at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute for Technology and eventually get an internship working for Elon Musk.
Like many other 12-year-old boys, Caleb Anderson enjoys collecting action figures, watching Netflix and playing with Beyblades. He also happens to be a sophomore in college majoring in aerospace engineering.
Caleb's mother, Claire, said she first realized her son was gifted when he began mimicking her speech at just 4 weeks old. At 9 months, he could sign more than 250 words in American Sign Language and had no trouble reading words he'd never seen before. "I didn't like the character that was building in him," she said."He didn't have any study skills, perseverance, grit. He didn’t ask for help."
"Both of us are not rocket scientists," she said. "We had to learn there are other things that we can teach him about compassion, kindness, looking for good in others.""It's really accepting," he said. "People might think something about it, but they don't show it which is really nice."
