U.K. school hires 10-year-old Nigerian tech as coding instructor
The tech field yields a sizeable portion of high-paying salary jobs with many career paths. One remarkable youthful Nigerian girl defied the odds and was recently hired by a school in the United Kingdom to teach others about coding.
Emmanuella Mayaki is a 10-year-old coding and programming prodigy who recently 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 teach other kids her age about the basics of coding including HTML and CSS.
The school selected her for the job because of her extraordinary skill and knowledge in the area.
Mayaki’s passion for technology started at 7 years old, where, in another two years she would get 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 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 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.”
