She'd been coding since she was six and at the age of eight, she built a game called CoderBunnyz to help teach other kids how to code which also helped her earning national recognition.
New Delhi: Samaira Mehta has become a kid-coder-to-watch in Silicon Valley. This 10-year-old child prodigy is a programmer, she runs a company of her own that teaches artificial intelligence (AI) programming, she regularly speaks at conferences across Silicon Valley and has been approached by a Google executive to join the company, while other bigwigs like Microsoft also have their eyes on her.
Not only this, she'd been coding since she was six and at the age of eight, she built a game called CoderBunnyz to help teach other kids how to code which also helped her earning national recognition, reported Business Insider.
Her father Rakesh is an Intel engineer and former employee of Sun Microsystems. No wonder how Samaira developed the love for codes at such an early age! Rakesh also helped her develop a successful marketing strategy for the game.
After CodeBunnnyz became a success, she launched the sequel of her game called CoderMindz. It's a board game that teaches AI concepts, the first of its kind. She developed it with the help of her little brother, Aadit, who is six, the age when her dad started teaching her to code. Since then, she's held dozens of workshops to teach kids using the platform, including a number of them at Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley, according to reports. She has received recognition from the White House as well.
She has now launched her own interview series on her CoderBunnyz website where she talks with people in the robotics, game and education sectors. She had also met Mark Zuckerberg and got an opportunity to chat him up about her coding work.
That might just be too much talent coming out of a single family. The father and kids are doing wonders! Hopefully, the brother and sister can go on to do great things for the world of technology.
