Okechukwu Juliet is a student leader who flawlessly bridges the gap between biological sciences and digital tech execution. Driven by the total lack of technical resources available to children in her immediate environment, Juliet founded and manages Children in Tech, a dynamic development project that delivers free coding literacy, software tools, and digital career mapping to youths aged 9 to 19. Her multi-year vision involves qualifying as a professional research biochemist while scaling her non-governmental organization. As a WAAW Scholar, she aims to use clinical biochemistry to engineer local medical outreach systems, while expanding her tech academies to prepare the next generation of children for the global digital economy.
