Women have kick-started countless initiatives and organisations across the world that
nurture female coders, like Girls Who Code, Black Girls Code and Indian Girls Code.
Vandana ‘Vandi’ Verma was 11 years old when she got behind the wheel of her grandfather’s
tractor. She never imagined that someday she would navigate a rover on Mars. Today, sitting
at her desk at NASA, Verma drives, programs and navigates the Curiosity rover on Mars.
Using Artificial Intelligence, the rover takes images, analyses soil and rocks, and helps NASA
understand the planet’s past. Though Verma helps it do its job, the rover makes its own
decisions.
Verma feels robots can help humans explore alien environments. When she was at Carnegie
Mellon University in the USA, she designed many robots. What fascinated her was the way a
robot reacted to an unexpected situation. Scientists think that Mars might have had some life
form in the past, but now you don’t see any. What really happened out there? Verma would like
to find these answers, and she is busy developing systems for a Mars 2020 mission.
Fereshteh Forough didn’t like maths one bit. She had studied literature in Iran where her
Afghan parents had fled during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. When they moved back,
Forough got into the computer science program at Herat University. She hated the first day.
There were just too many numbers. The next day, she learnt about algorithms and she was
hooked.
After studying computer science, Forough wanted to start something that would help make
girls financially independent and more confident. She started Afghanistan’s first coding
school for women, Code to Inspire, from her apartment. Many women who study there have
never worked on a computer before. Learning a new language—that’s what coding is like for
Forough. It gives you the power to create what you want and to pass on that power to others.

Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt has revealed that he suffers from facial blindness. This is a
neurological disorder that causes people to find it difficult to recognise people's faces. In
more serious cases, sufferers can draw a blank when seeing the face of a family member or
even one's own face. The condition is called prosopagnosia. It is a little-known ailment that
afflicts about 1 in 40 people. It often triggers anxiety as people feel embarrassed in social
situations when they struggle to remember who people are. Sufferers tend to avoid situations
in which they will meet people, and as a result become withdrawn. In extreme cases, they will
be reluctant to leave their home.
Brad Pitt, 58, says he has not been officially diagnosed with prosopagnosia. He first spoke
about it in 2013. He said nobody believed him when he could not recall their name. He
worried that people thought he was being 'aloof, inaccessible and self-absorbed'. He said,
'People hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them'. He said he has used many
strategies to get around his lack of recall. He asked acquaintances where he had met them
before but said that made the situation worse. He explained, 'People were more offended. You
get this thing, like, "You're being egotistical. You're being conceited".' He hopes that speaking
about facial blindness will raise awareness of it.
