UK School Hires a 10yr Old Nigerian Girl for Coding

Southfield Primary School in Coventry, England, United Kingdom has hired a 10-year-old Nigerian girl to be a coding instructor.

By the time Mayaki was 9yrs old, she had already obtained a diploma with a specialty in multiple software programs. This also included Advanced PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Excel.

She is still actively exploring learning in other coding languages and programs to further expand her knowledge.

“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” she concluded.
