science fair kid
Young hypothesis tester
A science fair kid is a young person deeply invested in academic achievement, especially in STEM subjects—the type who builds volcano models or conducts experiments on plant growth for school competitions.
The term often carries a note of affectionate mockery, suggesting earnestness, social awkwardness, or nerdiness: He still has that science fair kid energy.
It can be self-deprecating or nostalgic.
