Thirteen-year-old Nigerian-born Emmanuella Mayaki has set a new record as one of the youngest persons to be accepted into a university in the United States.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mayaki was accepted into the Programme for the Exceptionally Gifted at the Mary Baldwin University, US, to study Computer Science in the spring.<\/p>\n

Mayaki\u2019s letter of admission made available to NAN in Benin read, \u201cDear Emmanuella, congratulations on your acceptance to the Programme for the Exceptionally Gifted at Mary Baldwin University! Welcome to the PEG class of 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

She scored a 91 percentile mark of 1,300 in her Scholastic Aptitude Test.<\/p>\n

One of Mayaki\u2019s personal accomplishments at age 11, in the year 2020, was the opening of an Information Communications Technology Academy for girls in Abuja, Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The academy was her mission to provide sustainable empowerment for the girl child to acquire digital skills and to close the gap on digital literacy, and for training and equipping youngsters in digital technology.<\/p>\n

Mayaki said the academy had a vision of securing the future of the girl-child.<\/p>\n

The academy, named \u2018CodeKid\u2019, which was incorporated under the companies and Allied Matters Act 1990, on the second day of December 2020, with registration number (RC: 1741234), was set up to train the girl-child on the basics of computer literacy from simple Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint functions to the more complex skills like programming and coding.<\/p>\n

The young tech developer and programmer has always nursed a strong drive to share knowledge and positively impact people, especially the girl-child.<\/p>\n

This led to her decision to launch the after-school, weekend and holiday club in Nigeria. Mayaki noted that this programming school was influenced by her experience with the United Kingdom<\/a> after-school club experience, which she successfully duplicated in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Her focus is on the girl-child who falls within the age range of 6 to 15, which includes a beginners\u2019 class to Information and Communications Technology.<\/p>\n

Here, newbies to the endless possibilities of the ICT are tutored on Introduction to Computer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, WordPress, Graphics design, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, among others such as object-oriented programming \u2013 Python and Java.<\/p>\n

In addition, Data Science Nigeria, invited young Mayaki as a guest speaker during their Interactive Workshop for kids and teens with the theme, \u201cHow to start a future in Data Science and AI\u201d.<\/p>\n

Besides, in May 2022, she was nominated as a STEM icon by STEM Kids New York City. The organisation went on to name her as their inspiration after researching social justice issues around their target audience for their app.<\/p>\n

Mayaki was first offered a teaching appointment in the UK while she was aged 11 at the Southfields Primary School in Coventry, England.<\/p>\n

Her preferred area of study is in the field of Computer Science.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that her passion for Information and Communications Technology beginning from the basics of desktop publishing which includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Corel Draw came when she was aged just seven.<\/p>\n

Her passion and rapid rate of learning the basics encouraged the young Mayaki to gain more knowledge about programming languages and augmented reality through online courses from SoloLearn and Udemy.<\/p>\n

Some of the courses and certificates she obtained in pursuing this preferred career are a certificate in the HTML fundamentals course, a certificate in the PHP tutorial course, a certificate in the CSS fundamentals course and a certificate in the SQL fundamentals course.<\/p>\n

Also, she obtained a certificate in JavaScript tutorial course and a certificate in JQuery tutorial course. She went further to obtain a certificate in Logic Building, Python and Java programming.<\/p>\n

Mayaki was nominated to be featured as a recipient in Microsoft\u2019s Legacy Project Virtual Museum\u2019s Women\u2019s History Month Experience in year 2021.<\/p>\n

She was also identified as one of the most influential, ground-breaking female change makers of our time, and an inspiration for young girls around the world.<\/p>\n

In the year 2021, she was featured in the CBBC\u2019s My Life series for International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
