This week, 2017 fellow Saba Rasheed Malik was featured by Wogrammer, an AnitaB.org platform that amplifies the work and impact of international women in STEM fields. Saba is an assistant professor of computer science at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences as well as the cofounder of weePro, a STEM education program that teaches young students about computational thinking, robotics, programming and more.
In the feature, Saba spoke about her passion for computer science as well as her efforts to increase the visibility of women technologists in Pakistan. She created her initiative, Pakistani Women in Computing (PWiC), in order to foster a network of women who can support one another and serve as role models for the next generation of women in STEM. With nine global chapters, Saba hopes that the network will inspire other women to push forward in their careers despite challenges. “Your mantra of life should be ‘learn and learn and learn!’” she said. “Never get tired of learning.”
