An Emirati girl, Al Dhabi Al Mheiri, is only 10 years old, but she’s already showing the world what’s possible at an age when most children are still discovering their interests and dreams.

She recently launched UAE Kid Coders, an AI academy. It teaches children how to code, build robots, and understand artificial intelligence all in a fun, hands-on environment. For Al Dhabi, it’s more than just tech skills; it’s about creating a space where girls feel valued, included, and empowered to explore a world that’s often seen as out of reach.
Emirati Girl’s Vision Sparks Recognition and Impact
This isn’t the first time this Emirati girl has captured attention. At just nine years old, Al Dhabi made history by earning a Guinness World Record for being the youngest person to publish a bilingual book series. Since then, she’s written over 53 books, become a young publishing entrepreneur, and even won the Diana Award, an honor given to young people making a global impact.
Her passion for education runs deep. Now, with UAE Kid Coders, she’s combining her love for storytelling with a bold step into technology. She hopes the academy can help bridge the gender gap in science and tech, starting with kids her own age.
Her work is already gaining praise. Parents, teachers, and even government leaders have called her a role model, not just for girls, but for the entire nation.
The UAE has made artificial intelligence a priority, even introducing it in school curriculums from early grades. Al Dhabi’s initiative fits right in with this national vision but with a personal, heartfelt twist.
She isn’t trying to be the smartest kid in the room. She’s trying to make room for every child to feel smart in their own way. And with her energy and determination, this Emirati girl is not only learning about the future, she’s helping shape it.
