Imagine working with robots, using an electron microscope, and heating up tiles from the Space Shuttle. That's what a 12-year-old budding scientist got to do in a visit to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Meet Isaac, this week's Wednesday's Child.

He was impressed, walking the grounds of the U.S. Air Force Academy. But he could hardly contain his excitement in the Applied Mechanics Lab.

Isaac was right at home, putting on safety glasses then getting a special blue lab coat with his name on it. He got right to work with Lt. Colonel Tim Radsick.

Colonel Radsick tells him, "Basically what you're doing is building an airplane. You're just building a little tiny piece of it."

Then it was time for Isaac to test the part he had just built, seeing how much of a load he could put on the rivets. Minutes later the colonel took out a space shuttle tile, showing Isaac tests they conduct using heat.

Then with the help of liquid nitrogen he saw how cold could literally bust a rubber racquetball into small pieces.

This 12-year-old loves science and enjoyed looking at the wings of a fly with a super powerful electron microscope. He says he wants to be a ghost hunter or engineer when he grows up.

As for sports, Isaac says, "There's two different types of cross country. There's cross country skiing and cross country running. I do running and I like it."

Isaac says he'll never forget his trip to the Air Force Academy. He told me, "I like this place better than any place I've ever been, besides Garden of the Gods ... those two places I like."

Isaac left with his lab coat and another momento: the Air Force Academy emblem.
