As we continue our celebration of International Girls in ICT Day 2026 under this year’s theme “AI for Development: Girls shaping the digital future,” we are proud to feature another inspiring young changemaker who is redefining possibilities through technology.
Meet Nasheetat Zainah Rahman — a three-time gold medalist at the International Robot Olympiad, whose journey reflects how curiosity, access, and mentorship can shape extraordinary outcomes.
What began with simple LEGO building evolved into a deep passion for robotics, sparked further by hands-on learning through the Bangladesh Robot Olympiad. Even though there were very few girls in this field in Bangladesh, Nasheetat stayed confident and kept moving forward.
Today, she is pursuing Engineering at the University of Alberta, contributing to advanced robotics projects and continuing to push boundaries. But beyond her personal achievements, her journey represents something bigger—a shift. From a time when girls were rarely seen in robotics teams for the international stage to now leading and excelling globally, she has been part of a quiet yet powerful movement.

As we continue this series, we celebrate not just achievements but the growing ecosystem that empowers girls to shape the future of AI and technology.
