Invited Speaker at Women in Tech

Are you looking for a Speaker for your next conference?

Denise Kalm, BCC Writer, Editor, Marketer, Career and IT Speaker, Career Coach

Samaira spoke at Impact 2016, the youngest person to ever speak at CMG's annual conference. And yet, she rivaled some of our best speakers with her poise, her presentation skills and her enthusiasm. Speaking to our Women in Technology luncheon, she not only blew us away with her amazing business. She impressed us with her maturity and power. I can't wait to see what she does next. If you need a speaker for your forum, be prepared to be inspired. What she is doing with her 'game' is revolutionary and will lead to more women considering an IT career. Great work! Thank you.less

I am writing a recommendation for the most powerful and charming, Ms. Samaira. She is a bright, creative and a strong leader in technology. I worked with her and her CoderBunnyz brand on a Meetup called: "CoderBunnyz - Teaching coding fundamentals with a fun board game," which was very well received by both parents and children. Samaira is a skilled presenter, and very diligent about ensuring everyone in the audience is engaged and understanding of the concepts being taught. I look forward to seeing what she does in the future.

My Story
Hello, World!! I am Samaira, I go to Elementary School in Silicon Valley, California. I love to play board games. I am going to tell you the story about how I got the idea of Coderbunnyz, that helps young kids learn programming concepts in a fun way. This is early summer of 2015. I still remember that weekend when I played several board games with my parents but when they got tired, I went to the laptop to do some coding. Immediately in my mind I thought today was a fun day, I did two of my favorite things, board game, and coding. How fun would it be to have a board game which has coding concepts in it? This is where the journey started. I blended my favorite animal bunny and comes to the name of the game… CoderBunnyz! Being young, I needed help from my parents to make the concept a reality. The Internet is just amazing, you could get in touch with people halfway around the world. Some amazing graphic designers from Iowa, Ohio and New Zealand helped bring life to my ideas and rough sketches.And here I am with the prototype of my first coding game!Besides being a founder at coderbunnyz.com, I am a song writer, a singer, a swimmer, an ice skater and an origami enthusiast. In addition to song covers, I am starting to write and sing my own songs. My debut self-wrote motivational song “Don’t Give up!” is now available and the other one “We are the Coderbunnyz” is in the final stages of being touched up with background music and will be available soon. Oh... and Yes, I love to dance on Hollywood songs too!!

Today’s CoderBunnyz STEM workshop at Santa Clara Library was THE BEST! I can’t believe the energy in the room! It was so awesome! Normally, there would be one parent at each table helping the kids with the game. Today, ALL of the parents wanted to be involved! There were 15 parents playing with 20 kids! It was amazing! I was observing one table and everyone cheered for a little boy who figured out his next move (I think he was about 5 years old). The whole table cheered for him! I told one of the moms that it was so great that everyone was cheering for him, and she said, “Well, we’re into the game as much as they are!” It makes for such a meaningful experience when parents are connecting with their children, encouraging them, and learning with them. Everyone wins with this program. Here is an 8 year old, presenting like an adult but bringing that youthful enthusiasm to the program. It’s such a treat to see her shine. Parents are always engaged by her, and the kids feel like she’s another classmate. She provides a great atmosphere for learning. Looking forward to the next program! - Erin Ulrich, Library Program Co-ordinator Youth and Extension Services, City of Santa Clara, #SuperBowl50 City

What a fun and educational program! We had our first CoderBunnyz event at the Mountain View Library last Saturday. The full house of kids had fun playing the game and many of the parents jumped right in to help. At this age, Samaira is the most impressive young girl! She conducted the game play training all by herself and walked around to each group several times to answer questions and offer guidance. At the end, players were invited to record the algorithm of their play. There was a way to do it simply (for the younger kids) and to write it out for the older ones. The game teaches the beginning skills of coding including vocabulary, offers levels of play so repeat players can advance. Samaira was inspiring as she showed everyone that even a very young coding enthusiast can make her dream a reality with very supportive parents a key ingredient in the recipe. - Karin Bricker, Library Manager Youth and Outreach Services, City of Mountain View Public Library

I’ve learned about Samaira’s CoderBunnyz from Santa Clara library and was totally impressed by such a big achievement of such a young girl! Since we’re organizing the annual math festival at my daughter’s elementary school in January I thought it will be an inspiring experience for the kids to have a young speaker for the first time in the history of the festival. I’ve contacted her family by email and they graciously accepted our invitation! Samaira talked to a full house of elementary kids and parents, and answered so many curious questions without any hesitation, she was a true inspiration for so many kids! I hope she enjoyed our festival too and wish her more playful coding adventures! -Sinziana Berevoescu, Panda Math Festival,Stocklmeir Elementary School, Sunnyvale
