8yr. old teaches physics and programming

While the average 8 year old boy spend their days playing and learning in primary school, Seth Yee builds spaceship and programs.

At age 4, Seth was found to have an IQ of 134. People with an IQ of 135 usually are Neurosurgeons, research scientists, and university professors.

Daphlyn Gao, Seth's mother, shared how Seth was unique from the kids his age.

"When we bring him out where there are kiddy rides, he would be looking at the mechanisms of the rides to see how it actually worksworks and why it moves" she said.

Because he was an advance learner, Seth struggled with his age group which led to his huge meltdown at school.

The feedback from his previous school said Seth understood everything they could teach him. From there, his father tried homeschooling for a while.

Seth's father was a software engineer. While homeschooling Seth his father always browsed the internet for things to teach him. Later he tried introduced his work to his son.

Seth was eager to learn coding.He helped test a software to build spaceships and simulate flight, however an understanding of physics is needed to successfully create a spaceship. Seth built and simulated a working spacecraft at 6.

At age 6 they moved to Australia to study at Wooranna Park Primary School where children have the choice for their curriculum.

Because of his advance understanding of the subjects he was allowed and encouraged to teach his classmates lessons on coding.

As a surprise, Seth was invited to the University of South Wales to visit a quantum computer lab.

There, he was guided around to see the quantum computets he was so fascinated about up close.

Seth's parents hope that "he will be able to use technology to help and solve the problems around the world."
