Somi the Computer Scientist: Princess Can Code - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Inspirational speaker, Bukola Somide, is inspiring youth to realize their passion early in order to pursue and excel in their purpose. Born in Kaduna, Nigeria, she migrated to the United States with her family as a teenager. Having decided to pursue a Computer Science degree as early as 10th grade, that proclamation was realized when she attained a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science from the University of Maryland at College Park. She also acquired a Masters in Technology Management from UMUC and a Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate from PMI. Bukola is a very passionate, inquisitive and creative individual, who credits her determination, ideas, ability to overcome adversity, perseverance, and success to her faith. Her non-profit, CompSci ABC™, was conceived out of the incessant desire to give back to her community. Particularly, to bring awareness of Computer Science to young girls who are disenfranchised and beyond. Her budding empowerment apparel line, “Smarts Plus Swagg™”, aims to foster the mantra: “You’re smart. Look smart. It’s cool.™”
