Before joining the program, Aisha was deeply passionate about technology but lacked a clear understanding of how to integrate it into her life and future career. She faced challenges in acquiring digital skills and mastering design thinking and was searching for an opportunity to enhance her abilities. Aisha decided to join the program to improve her technological and soft skills while refining her approach to problem-solving and decision-making.
Initially, Aisha struggled with effective communication, teamwork, and creative thinking. She also wanted to strengthen her design thinking and become more adept at using modern technological tools. The program gave her the skills she was seeking, including time management, analytical thinking, and teamwork. Aisha learned how to approach challenges positively, plan for her career, and leverage technology for personal and professional growth.
During the program, Aisha contributed to the development of a tech project focused on building an app called “Peerfect.” The app aimed to help students better understand their lessons and overcome academic challenges. Through this project, Aisha applied her newfound skills in coding, machine learning AI, problem analysis, design thinking, and team collaboration. This experience significantly boosted her confidence in her abilities.
Aisha’s biggest challenge was her fear of failure. However, with support from the program, she overcame this fear and built a powerful sense of self-confidence. Upon completing the program, Aisha found herself with a clearer vision for her future and felt more confident in her ability to tackle challenges.
Aisha favorite quote: “Don’t wait for the opportunity; create it yourself.” This reflects her belief that success originates from within, and through determination and will, she can achieve her goals and realize her dreams. Looking ahead, Aisha aspires to continue her education in technology and use the skills she gained to develop her own projects. She dreams of working in a field that empowers youth through technology.
