Afra Karim Randhawa is no ordinary 10 year old girl. At age 5 she saw a computer
lab for the first time and that sparked in her a passion to learn about computers. At age 9
she managed to enroll in a local technology institute in
Pakistan. After 4 months she passed her final exams and became a Microsoft
Certified Professional, which is no easy task for most adults. Even Mr. Gates
took notice of this prodigy and had her and her father flown in to Redmond so
that he could meet her.
Nowadays, Randhawa can be found working on her lead developer certification as well as her plans to take
over the world by the age of 19. (Source: Wired Magazine, December 2005)
