A Passion for Learning and Exploring
Among all his subjects, math stands out as his favorite. “My favorite class is math because it’s fun,” Lewandowski said, emphasizing his enthusiasm for problem-solving and logical thinking. His curiosity extends beyond the classroom as well, particularly in his fascination with rockets and space exploration.
“I’m very passionate about rockets and how they work,” he said. “There’s something incredible about how we can send people and machines beyond Earth.” His inspiration? The legendary theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, whose work has fueled Lewandowski’s interest in science and discovery.
Beyond the Books: Sports, Games, and Family Time
Outside of school, Lewandowski enjoys balancing his academic drive with hobbies that bring him joy. “My favorite thing to do after class is play basketball and hang out with my friends,” he said.
Despite his deep appreciation for science, he also enjoys unwinding with entertainment that brings him closer to family. His favorite TV show? Bluey—a heartwarming animated series he watches with his younger siblings. “I like watching Bluey because it’s something I can share with them,” he said.
