We look forward to an exciting day of mathematics, learning, and friendly competition. Best of luck to all participants!

It will also provide an opportunity to discuss the future of the AIST Alumni Network and how alumni can contribute towards empowering the next generation of STEM learners.

The event will feature discussions, motivational speakers, mentorship conversations, a braai, fun games, and networking activities.

To every young girl who dreams of being in tech , this is your sign to keep going.🎓❤️
Don’t let anyone make you feel like coding, engineering, or technology is only for boys. Your ideas matter. Your intelligence matters. Your future matters.
There will be bugs, errors, failed compilations, and moments where you’ll feel like giving up but remember, even the best developers spend their lives debugging. Growth comes from fixing errors, not fearing them.
I started with confusion, doubts, and zero confidence, but I kept learning, pushing commits to my dreams every single day. Now I realize that every challenge was preparing me for the woman I’m becoming in tech.
Girls, don’t be afraid to take up space in computer labs, classrooms, hackathons, and boardrooms. Clone confidence. Commit to your goals. Upgrade your mindset. And never allow society to delete your dreams.
Your future is waiting to be compiled into success. ❤️🔥👩🏽‍💻 Nikita Makukule

You solved problems most people quit on
Debugging at night ,algorithms that didn’t work, projects that broke 10 mins before deadline🫥You stuck with it and you nailed it🥳Congratulations from the AIST family Nikita Makukule
