Meet 10-Year-Old Nigerian Tech Genius Hired By U.K School As New Coding Instructor

 

 

 

10-year-old Emmanuella Mayaki, has been hired by a school in the United Kingdom to be a coding instructor, and that sure is a huge feat for the young girl.

The Nigerian is a coding and programming prodigy and has gotten her first job at the tender age.

Emmanuella Mayaki received her first job at the Southfield Primary School in Coventry, England, as the after school coding club teacher.

According to Face 2 Face Africa, she will be responsible for teaching other kids her age about the basics of coding including HTML and CSS.

Southfield Primary School selected Emmanuella Mayaki for the job because of her extraordinary skill and knowledge in the area.

Mayaki’s passion for technology started at 7 years old. At age 9, she obtained a diploma with a specialty in multiple software programs including Advanced PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Excel. She is still actively learning other coding languages and programs to expand her knowledge even further.

“In the club, there are currently about nine pupils. Hopefully, the club will increase its members in September,” she said in an interview with Face 2 Face Africa.

“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,” she added. “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.”
