Child programmers

In the modern world, children are increasingly interested in programming from a young age. Since childhood, children have demonstrated amazing ability to code and solve complex problems. In this article, we'll tell you more about the achievements of young programmers from around the world.

And if your child is also very interested in technology, welcome to Progkids!

Who are these little geniuses?

Samaira Mehta, a young Indian-born programmer from the United States

The girl became famous for her brilliant achievements in coding and creating programming board games. Samaira became interested in IT technologies at the age of six and quickly drew public attention to her original projects.

When she was just eight years old, she came up with the CoderBunnyz board game that teaches children the basics of programming. The game made learning a fun and accessible activity for kids of all ages. CoderBunnyz has received numerous positive reviews and awards, and is now being used in classes in more than 100 schools around the world.

The next game developed by Samaira was CoderMindz. It teaches children the basics of artificial intelligence, helping children understand the concept of AI through playful scenarios and puzzles.

Samaira now takes an active social position, promoting the ideas of inclusive education and gender equality in technology. It organizes workshops and events for children from different social groups.

Jordan Casey, young developer from Ireland

He started programming at the age of nine, creating his first iOS game called Alien Ball. The project received a lot of positive reviews, and many users were interested in it. This inspired Jordan to create new games.

At the age of 12, the guy founded his own company, Casey Games, which develops entertainment applications. Thus, Jordan became one of the youngest tech entrepreneurs.

The teenager participated in many international conferences, where he shared his experience and inspired other children to learn programming. He has spoken at TEDx, Web Summit, etc.

Jordan is actively involved in social projects. He has developed an app to teach children the basics of programming and is actively promoting the benefits of technology.

This boy became a certified IT professional at the age of... six! In 2020, Arkham entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest programmer to be certified by Microsoft. The boy began to show interest in computers and technology from a very young age. His father, who is a professional Python programmer, noticed this and decided to support his son. He started teaching Arkham the basics of coding, and the boy learned the material surprisingly quickly. Now he is creating his own projects and applications, continuing to develop programming skills and take an interest in new technologies.

Rohan Agrawal, a young robot enthusiast from the United States

At the age of 16, Rohan developed several prototypes of medical robots that help care for patients and perform tasks that require precision and accuracy. His work has attracted the attention of the medical community and research institutions.

Rohan actively participates in various scientific competitions and exhibitions, where he demonstrates his projects and shares ideas. He has repeatedly won prizes at prestigious events, such as the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

The boy's developments and innovative ideas attracted the attention of large technology companies. For example, Google and Microsoft invited Rohan for an internship.

The boy takes an active social position: he organizes workshops and seminars for schoolchildren to inspire them to study robotics and programming.
