A 15-year-old Indian-American teen has been selected by the White House for the prestigious Champions of Change award for empowering the community by imparting Internet coding through her non-profit organisation.
At just 17, an Indian-origin student has earned admission to 14 top United States universities, including all eight Ivy League schools considered the most prestigious varsities worldwide.
Through her non profit organisation Everybody Code Now! Swetha Prabhakaran, 15, has taught several students how to code and turned them into confident professionals.
'We teach our kids the 3 R's -- reading, writing, and arithmetic -- so that they can be successful. It's time the fourth R joined that list: Programming. My vision is to expose every student to computer science and show them that coding IS fun and applicable to their daily lives.' Just 15, Swetha Prabakaran, founder and CEO of Everybody Code Now!, a non-profit working to empower the next generation of youth to become engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs, is already a White House Champion of Change for teaching hundreds of students how to code.
