It is an inspiration to all the Filipino children that even from the young age they can learn how to code. The youngest Filipino girls start to code at the age of 10, her name is Isabel Sieh that inspires the children and even the adults. according to her that she is not like the ordinary children that playing barbie dolls and family computers but for her it was different.Isabel shared what she has done when she was a kid
" When I was 10 years old, you’d probably find me at home playing Family Computer, watching cartoons or playing with my Barbie Dolls. If I were outside, you’d probably find me goofing around with other kids ‘till the sun sets without a care in the world. I may be in the engineering field now, but when I was a kid, math, and coding were the furthest things from my interests."This amazing girl from the city of Antipolo is peculiar because at the early young age she begun to learn how to code at the age of 10.She shared that her teacher noticed that she really love math and suggest her to start learning to code. This is what she shared
"When I was around 10 years old, my teacher noticed that I really love math so he suggested that I start coding. He showed me this website called Code Academy,”
This young girl is so amazing that she didn't stop learning and studying but she built her own company at an early age named" Girls Will Code" She founded the company as a community of young and enthusiast girls that are interested in coding. Their goals are to encourage young girls and schools to teach the students of basic programming as school activities. At the young age of 10, she begins to study and learn HTML and JavaScript through the internet. Isabel Sieh learning grows and realized that she was limited in studying online and decided to enhance her skills through the support of her mother and gave her a tutor for enhancing her skills.

" It’s the same thing as language. As you learn early, you get really fluent,”Sieh used the Scratch junior for teaching young children at the age of 5-7 and they can program their own interactive stories and games. the children can easily know how to solve problems and design projects through computer coding.This amazing girl is now 13 years old and gives us a lesson that it is never too late to learn new things.
