13-year-old is youngest student at Georgia Tech

Caleb Anderson isn't your usual teen. He was reading at age 1 and doing fractions by 2. Now he's an aerospace engineering major at Georgia Tech instead of a seventh-grader. Mark Strassmann has his story.

Of course he's the only smart kid there because he's the only kid. He's probably smarter than his adult classmates.

CBS thinks this is unusual??? There are lots of kids like Caleb, smart and talented well beyond their peers. It's the public school system that's holding them back.

[berthasherman]

Where is Caleb now, and what is he doing?

[papadre]

Imhotep would be jealous along with all the great minds of Kemet aka Egypt and Greece.
