A 10-year-old Nigerian girl was hired recently by a school in the United Kingdom as coding instructor.
Emmanuella Mayaki, a coding and programming guru was recently appointed by Southfield Primary School in Coventry, England, as the after school coding club teacher.
According to Face 2 Face Africa, Emmanuella will be responsible for tutoring kids of her age about the fundamentas of coding which include HTML and CSS.
She was chosen by the school for the job due to her extraordinary skill and knowledge in the area.
Emmanuella developed passion for technology when she was 7 years old. She obtained a diploma with specialty in multiple software programs like Advanced PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Excel at the age of 9. She still actively learns other coding languages and programs to expand her horizon further.
In an interview with Face 2 Face Africa, she said: “In the club, there are currently about nine pupils. Hopefully, the club will increase its members in September.
“Today, my Academy App among others is already on Google Play store where I pass on knowledge of coding and graphics. I remember at age seven, I set a target to become a professional web designer and analyst at age nine, and I have accomplished it.”
“In the first week, I was pretty nervous because I had never taught a group of children. Although, my experience was sublime because I gained experience and I also enriched my skills. My observations were that not everyone grasps how to do it on their first try and there are some that they rush through it in a breeze.”
