I’ve had the privilege of knowing Iffat and she has impressed me immensely. She is by far one of the most naturally gifted students I have ever encountered with a kind heart. At 14 she developed a robot from scratch that had the ability to sleep at night and react to objects placed in from of it. At 17 she secured a place at a competitive cyber security course endorsed by GCHQ. 600 applied, only 8% got in. She also came first at the Microsoft hackathon for the game she developed. She volunteered at the Centre for Computing History for nearly 2 years. At 18 she volunteered to create a resource signposting website for refugees in the area using JavaScript and the Google platform within 48 hours. She came first place out of 100 contestants at the Cambridge University Hackathon for Blockchain, being the youngest contender and 1 of 5% that were female. She also won the bonus prize for outstanding effort. Iffat studies artificial intelligence in her own time and a lot of her skills and experience up-to-date can be found on LinkedIn. Her ambition and hard work has landed her a project with some people in MIT and Boston, Massachusetts for her contribution and expertise on a remote internship. I wholeheartedly endorse Iffat for this award for she will be an absolute testament to it and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it better.
