Caldwell’s drive to understand how things work motivates plans

File / The Outlook Andrew Caldwell presents his business proposal to the investor panel at the Lake Martin Innovation Center in May 2019.

Benjamin Russell Class of 2020 graduate Andrew Caldwell has a drive for figuring out how things work and understanding what makes them tick. Whether it’s building a specific computer from scratch or learning the inner workings of the human brain, Caldwell’s desire to grasp the concept of logic and procedure helped motivate him during the Wildcat Entrepreneur Academy. He plans to apply that same drive to study neuroscience and psychology this fall at UAB.

“When I was little, all the time I asked a million questions about how things work; ‘Why does this do that?’” Caldwell said. “From Day 1 I’ve been interested in that.”
