Interview: Temitope Oladokun

This interview is a part of a series in support of the book to inspire a million girls into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) — She’s Building A Robot

A wonderful conversation with Temitope from Nigeria. The bandwidth caused a few glitches but the story is amazing and well worth listening to.

Highlights:

  1. Teenage girls in Nigeria initially think that computers are for boys but it is changing, slowly
  2. There is a local robotics competition with a number of girls participating — just like in the book!
  3. “I’m audacious. I just go for it. You need undying resilience.” — love it.
  4. I have a thirst for knowledge.
