Now, she's off to Arizona State University.
She plans to major in astronomical and planetary sciences and chemistry.
Her passion for building started as an infant with LEGOs.
Her goal is to build rovers like the one sent to Mars in the Perseverance mission.

Keep college professors away from her. After her freshman year she’ll dye her hair blue and start leading BLM chants complaining about white privilege.
I watched the video. She’s already in the process of being indoctrinated. Look at her shirt.
What a great story about resilience in the face of severe neglect.
She turn out ok?
Our all genius disappeared into the dod working on robotics at 16 and after college too
Not bad. Non of the drama and can do more interesting things
They do not live there usually they live with parents and take courses
Children who are accepted into college course work live at home with parents. They live age appropriate lives and go to advanced classes.
Use your heads people
Medicine is a horror show.
Home Schooled
Hopefully it won’t go back to being a “muslim outreach program” by the time she’s eligible.
Again, in said advanced class, you don’t think she is not going to see and hear from the other students? It is not a cloistered environment, and this child will be exposed to conversations between young adults. Is her parent going to chaperon every minute?
The local community college would service her needs better, and would minimize her exposure to age inappropriate situations.
My son went to school with such a student. He was a normally socialized, likable kid - down to earth. even though he was done with high school math by the 5th grade, it never went to his head and no one treated him as an oddball. He and my son were friends for many years. Went to college at age 13 - full freight scholarship. Had a good attitude about the age difference he faced. Made lots of friends at college; purposely stayed away from weekend partying. Graduated from medical school with high honors at age 21. Ended up going into medical research. His mother is a physician and his father is an economist/mathematician. I know them both. He has other siblings who are very sharp too, but not at the prodigy level. That probably helped him in his adjustment - he is in the middle and had to live with them when his school was miles ahead of his siblings. The family is very nice. not stuck up, do not come off as “know it all” or nerds. In fact it is quite the opposite - they learn from others. Their casualness - you’d almost think they were county folk. A lot has to do with the parents and their home. I hope this girl is the same, shecwould be a great contributor in our society some day.
“The local community college would service her needs better, and would minimize her exposure to age inappropriate situations.”
maybe not. See my post 92.
I met a young teenage girl at a bookstore once where I would use the stores books to do research for school. Having seen her there several times we stated a conversation. I asked her what school she attended and she replied she does research at the Navy Research Lab in DC. She had always had an interest in explosives and the rate of decay before they become unstable. So that what she did at the NRL all day long and took some classes too. She was maybe 14. She didn’t seem unusual to me in any way.
My point is not all kids are pressured by parents.
Skynet?
Perdue? Nothing to do in West Lafayette but drink, y'know. Ga Tech is not in a friendly neighborhood. MIT is fond of co-opting students into woke-tivism.
ASU actually has some nice science and engineering facilities devoted to actual space science and technology.
It is not.
Even more so as the colleges are now hell-holes of debauchery.
