Samaira-Mehta

Youthcorner: Meet 14-year-old Ceo, Entrepreneur, And Feminist Stem Advocate Samaira Mehta

Samaira is the inventor of Coderbunnyz, a game that simplifies complex coding concepts and teaches them through an explorative adventure narrative. It has garnered a spot on the Amazon best seller’s list. She has likewise invented Coderminez, the world’s first ever artificial intelligence board game that simplifies the intricacies of AI for young learners. She has been featured on platforms like CNBC, Business Insider, The Today Show, and the Washington Post for both her creations and the many workshops that she has developed and organized.

When she was just 6 years old, Samaira’s dad introduced her to coding. Coding became something exciting to her. It was a mechanism for her to develop projects and games and bring anything that she dreamed of to life. But, over time, she saw that her friends did not share the same experience of coding that she had. They thought that coding was boring, hard, and never something that they would do for fun. That was the first time that she thought, “Hey, this is a problem. My friends don’t like coding as much as I do. But I think they could.” And that’s where her mindset about sharing her hobby emerged.

She got to work creating games that would teach her friends coding in a fun way. She quickly found that she very much enjoyed teaching her friends with these games. That’s when she started booking conference rooms on Saturday afternoons. Anybody who wanted to could come in, and she would teach them how to play and explain how what they learned connected to the real world and computer science. These events built up over time to create the board game that she has today.

At first, parents started coming up to her and asking where they could buy her games. Of course, she was just 7 years old and had no intention of selling a product. This was just a project she was doing for fun. But when more and more parents started telling her that this was something people would be willing to buy, she got excited and started thinking about how she could help more young people get into coding.

Her work became a way not only for parents to introduce coding to their children but for teachers to implement computer education in their classrooms. Samaira says that she sometimes cannot fully comprehend how vastly her project has evolved, but that it is humbling to see the support from her community and people around her. That’s why she thinks organizations like ASEI are important. ASEI helps create a community of like-minded people who truly want to lift each other up. Together, ASEI and Samaira want to help spread knowledge and information.

Samaira’s biggest advice for finding your passion is to continue doing new things, continue to experiment, and never say no to a new opportunity because you never know where it could lead you. Don’t force yourself to stick to activities you aren’t interested in. When she was younger there were so many activities that she was introduced to and there were a lot that she didn’t enjoy. She says she is very grateful to have parents that didn’t force those hobbies upon her and who instead let her explore her passions and blaze her own trail.

Inspiring Youth Inventor And Budding Engineer- Sidharth Jain

Inspiring Youth Inventor And Budding Engineer- Sidharth Jain

18-year-old Sidhardh Jain is an inventor of two novel patents (one granted and one pending), ISEF grand award winner and Microsoft imagine cup 2021 winner. Sidhardh’s journey started when he developed interest in LEGOs at age 13 – much like many other kids of that age. Little did he realize, however, that his interest would later turn into an unimaginable and rewarding career.
Sid saw an opportunity to pursue a career building LEGOs in 2013, when his team qualified for an international championship program; they would represent India in a LEGO competition. Over the years that followed, he pivoted his love for LEGOs into robotics, entering other competitions and finding new and inventive ways to impact people’s lives by building robots. As a side benefit of his love for robotics, he won some prestigious awards.
In 2018, when his grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the power of robotics became newly personal to him. He didn’t appreciate the way his grandfather’s privacy was invaded due to his condition. So, he developed a solution based on robotics to help protect the privacy of people like his granddad. That led to inventing his first patent pending project.
Sidhardh encourages young people to take advantage of the opportunities available to them by reaching out to organizations like ASEI. He knows that by doing this, they can turn their passions into careers that change the world for others. He attributes his own success to the support he received from mentors at organizations like OMOTEC who guided him to build innovative products.
As a result of pursuing his interests and finding people to support him along the way, he turned his passion into a rewarding career that is making the world a better place.

This article is based on conversations ASEI president Piyush Malik and Aditya Guthey, an ASEI Silicon Valley chapter member and a career coach have had with Sidharth Jain for ASEI Youth Corner. ASEI has a partnership with Moonpreneur – a Silicon Valley based startup that accelerates youths’ path from STEM education to entrepreneurship. They are offering summer internships for ASEI youth members as well in summer 2022. Click to avail special offers for ASEI community
