Manishka Dubey: 10 y/o Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist & India Book of Record Holder

How did you get an interest in the field of science and technology? What specifically made you interested?

When I was in kindergarten, my teachers took us to a TV room where I saw Astronauts working in International Space Station. I saw tools and machines that fascinated me that moment itself, and when my Mumma came to pick me from the school I shared everything and said to her that I want to become an Astronaut and want to learn robotics. The way astronauts were working and doing tasks made me interested. It is this curiosity that makes Manishka a true Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist in the making from the very beginning.

Who do you go to when you need help?

When I need help or stuck while learning I go to my institute, SP Robotics. Shivakshi Ma’am, Shailendra Sir, Narayan Sir, JD Sir and Udbhav Bhaiya they are always there to guide and support me.

Who motivated you the most?

There are many so I would like to say my school teachers, family, friends, and a lot of people from my own field who have their own startups they motivate me and believe in me that I can do it. Behind every Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist is a village of believers who never stop cheering them on.

What problems in your life and community seem unfair and how would you go about a change? What issues or topics are you passionate about?

I feel technology has no barrier. Girls and boys must be given equal opportunity to learn. This is something which I want to change, and I am working on it. A Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist who fights for equal opportunity in technology is not just an achiever; she is a changemaker.

Can you tell us something about your recent recognition as Star Achiever in the Int. Star Kids Awards?

I am very thankful to the International Star Kids Awards for giving me this honor and sharing my journey on their platform. I was surprised when I got to know about it. Recognition like this only reaffirms that a Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist like Manishka is leaving a mark that the world cannot ignore.

What were your best moments as a young scientist?

I am interested in learning, practicing, and exploring the world of technology. Every moment of exploration and discovery is what truly defines a Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist — the joy of learning never stops.

What are your long-term objectives and aspirations in the tech industry?

I want to create a platform for girls with a passion for technology and help them learn. As a part of this initiative, I recently started Tinker Techie with Challa Sri Gouri. This vision of a Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist to empower girls in technology is what makes Manishka’s journey truly extraordinary and deeply inspiring.

Also, what suggestions do you give to the youngsters as a young scientist who aspire to be successful in this field?

I just want to say to all youngsters do what you like and give your best. One day you will reach where you want to be.

At last, how would you describe yourself in 3 words?

Tech enthusiastic, passionate and determined. Three words that perfectly capture the spirit of a Child Prodigy and Gold Medallist who is only just getting started.
