Hi. Does it mean "it is easy like a school project"? I don't understand the meaning of the phrase in this particular context. Help me, please.
"Sturtevant seems to have been a child prodigy: by age 21, he already had a long track record of studying inheritance. Morgan had been impressed by Sturtevant when, still in his teens, he wrote a paper about how horses inherit coat colours — based on observations made as a child, on his father’s farm! The paper was published in a scientific journal, Morgan offered Sturtevant a position in his lab — and the rest is history.
That’s some school project."
