Sharing with Geo TV, Fatima's father is also an IT expert, having obtained an MCP certificate when he was very young. He helped Fatima prepare for the exam, after seeing that the girl was very interested in technology while working from home to avoid the epidemic.

Fatima's family says their daughter is 'very talented, has extraordinary abilities'.

Earlier in January, Kautilya Katariya, from the UK was honored by Guinness World Records as the 'World's Youngest Programmer' when she just turned 6 years, 346 days.

According to The Next Web, the boy took a series of computer courses from IBM, including artificial intelligence (AI) programming.

Currently, Katariya has at least 6 different certifications in AI and data science, including 5 certifications in Python and AI programming from IBM in November 2020. He completed the Foundations of AI professional certificate in AI on edX and the Python for Data Science course in the IBM Cognitive Class program.

Achieving a Guinness World Record in the field was an incredible feat for a 6-year-old boy. Through this, it can be seen that participating in "coding" and becoming a professional programmer is accessible to everyone in the world.
