In today’s world, the field of software engineering is rapidly growing, with new technologies and innovations emerging every day. One young woman who is determined to make her mark in this field is 19-year-old software engineer, Helen Okereke, who has set her sights on doing amazing things.

Helen Okereke’s journey began in March 2020 when she became fascinated by technology and computers while still in secondary school.

A bit about Robotics

The field of robotics is a captivating and rapidly advancing area that combines various disciplines, including computer science, engineering, and artificial intelligence. Robotics involves the design, development, and operation of robots that can perform tasks autonomously or with human guidance.

Over the years, robotics has evolved from simple, mechanised machines to highly sophisticated and intelligent systems capable of complex interactions with the world around them. Robots can be found in various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, space exploration, and even in our everyday lives.

One of the key advancements in robotics is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). By combining AI algorithms with robotics, engineers have enabled robots to adapt and learn from their environment, make decisions, and perform tasks with increased efficiency and autonomy. This has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for robots to interact with humans and their surroundings in more intuitive and intelligent ways.

Robotics plays a significant role in exploring environments that are challenging or inaccessible to humans. Robotic systems have been deployed in space exploration missions to gather data, conduct experiments, and aid astronauts in their tasks. They can withstand extreme conditions and perform tasks that are too hazardous or distant for humans to undertake directly.

Helen insists that Robotics is her long-term career goal. Despite facing some challenges along the way, Helen has persevered and continues to pursue her passion. She has worked hard to develop her skills, spending countless hours honing her coding and programming abilities, and constantly pushing herself to learn more.

She is an inspiration to young women everywhere, showing that with hard work and determination, it is possible to achieve great things in even the most challenging fields. As she continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in software engineering, there is no doubt that this young woman will continue to do amazing things and make a real difference in the world.
