While most children are focussed on homework and school, she is not only a skilled computer programmer, but also owns a company. To top it all – she recently rejected a job offer from Google.
Ten-year-old Samira Mehta is the genius daughter of an engineer. She is already an entrepreneur, a skilled programmer, has taken workshops in Silicon Valley and received an open offer from Google which she has declined.
Samira has set up her own company called 'Coder Bunnyz' which is a coder game teaching children all the necessary concepts of computer programming. Samaira's father already has a plan for his daughter's company.
The father-daughter duo conducted workshops and established a company to launch the game. Samaira tested her game by inviting friends to play with her so that they could give firsthand feedback and point out the shortfalls.
After the success of her board game, Samira launched another version of the game - the first Artificial Intelligence (AI) game to get launched in the market. This explains the concepts of Artificial Intelligence.
While, she has conducted over 60 workshops in Silicon Valley which have been attended by about 2,000 kids. To her surprise, she sold 1,000 boxes in a year that is worth $35,000 (Dh128,000 approx).
Her work has won Samira the second prize from Think Tank Learning's Pitchfest in 2016 and the 'Real Life Powerpuff Girls' prize from Cartoon Network. When Google extended an open offer to her, she declined saying that she was happy being an entrepreneur.
