Melchizedek Adio Baafawiise: Meet The 13-year-old Undergraduate Studying Physics At KNUST [VIDEO]

At just 13 years old, Melchizedek Adio Baafawiise has earned a spot as one of the youngest undergraduates at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

With an outstanding A1 in five subjects, including Physics and Mathematics, in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Melchizedek’s choice to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Physics at KNUST was a natural next step.

Although he enjoys everything about the subject, Mechanics fascinates him the most. On the other hand, topics like Electricity and Magnetism feel too abstract for his liking.

“I love the calculations and the mechanics. When you perform experiments, you get to feel them. Even though with electricity, you perform experiments, you don’t see the electrons moving,” he explained.

Growing up in a family of four, with an Economics teacher father and a primary school teacher mother, Melchizedek Adio Baafawiise originally dreamed of becoming a pilot. However, he soon realized the challenges and limitations of pursuing that path.

His decision to study Physics was motivated by a desire to explore his interests more deeply before determining whether to revisit his dream of aviation. “Studying Physics will allow me to discover my true passion. By my third or fourth year, I’ll decide whether to specialize in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering,” he explained.

Melchizedek, who attended St. Cyprian’s Minor Seminary, initially felt intimidated after skipping Forms 2 and 3. However, he quickly adapted to the new environment and now feels at ease among his older peers at the university.

“It doesn’t seem like much of a difference. It’s just normal,” he remarked.
