(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) The last thing many kids want to do during their summer break is learn.

Luk Addington, however, isnt like many kids.

It was the coolest thing ever, Luk says of his experience at the National Youth Leadership Form Pathways to STEM camp at Bowling Green State University in Ohio during the week of July 16-21.

The Lawrenceburg Central Elementary 5th grader was nominated by his 4th grade teacher. When asked if he wanted to go, he jumped at the opportunity.

Because I love robotics and engineering and its just really exciting to me, Luke explains.

Luk, 10, participated in six days of discovery, going through three engaging STEM challenges in the fields of engineering, medicine, and crime scene investigation. He worked with a team of five students to build robots, dissect cow organs, and solve a crime using forensic science tools. The campers kids in 3rd through 5th grade were also taught leadership skills.

Addington would like to be a computer engineer for Apple when he grows up. He particularly enjoyed a camp exercise in which he had to help program a robot to navigate an obstacle course.

The youngster says, without a doubt, that the Pathways to STEM camp was the best part of his summer.

Luk is the son of Sally Standish, of Lawrenceburg, and Randy Addington.
