At an age where most of us were lost in cartoons, Samaira Mehta is taking Silicon Valley by storm! The 10-year-old is a skilled programmer and has become somewhat of an icon for aspiring coders.
Samaira has developed Coder Bunnyz- a coding board game that teaches children all the concepts necessary in computer programming. She has already attended events by technology giants like Google and Microsoft as a keynote speaker!
Speaking to Medium, the coding prodigy says, "I always loved board games, and I always loved computer programming, but I didn't like the fact that I had to do both of them separately, so I thought if I can't bring board game onto a computer coding screen, so why not bring the computer coding to a board game. And that's when I got the idea to create a coding board game, and that's what I'm doing today."
However, it wasn't just developing an enjoyable board game that made her the talk of Silicon Valley.
Samaira's father, Rakesh, who is an engineer at Intel and Sun Microsystems/Oracle, had a strategic business plan in mind for Coder Bunnyz.
It started with young Samaira testing the game with her friends so they could point errors and share feedback. Accordingly, Samaira refined Coder Bunnyz to perfection.
The duo didn't stop at that. They arranged for coding workshops for kid coders which Samaira conducted. They also established a company to launch the game.
An open offer from Google is a dream come true for most. But Samaira replied saying that she's happy being an entrepreneur and didn't know if she wanted to join Google!
