Kairan Quazi will make history on Saturday as the youngest person to graduate from Santa Clara University in the school's more than 170-year history.
The 14-year-old boy will complete his bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering in three years then go to work at SpaceX.
After the third grade, Quazi went to community college and studied mathematics for two years before he enrolled at Santa Clara University at age 11. For the university, faculty and staff navigated uncharted territory. Teaching a student so young meant working around certain restrictions: for example, Quazi wasn't able to live in the college dorms because he is under 16. His mother would drive him to campus."I've never had such a young student before.
"I think one of the reasons SpaceX and specifically Starlink really was interesting to me was because of the broader applications of that technology," he explained. "I think a lot of other companies when I first met with the recruiters, they were very perplexed I think by my situation and came in thinking 'No'," Quazi recalled."But the recruiter I met at SpaceX, he was super nice, and he was really excited I think about my situation and my background."
