He began scouring the Internet for nuclear-related things because that’s what he says held his interest. Yes — at 12 years old. He converted an old playroom in his Memphis home into a functioning lab.

With the financial support of his parents – he spent between $8,000 and $10,000 over the course of a year collecting the parts he needed.

My only thought? Parents made a very sound financial decision. They essentially just paid 8-10 grand for a guaranteed free-ride at MIT.

Worthy read.

I love how your “only” thought is the parent’s financial decision. And that you don’t consider their choice of being exposed to radiation. Seems to be much more than a microwave!
