12 year old Pakistani prodigy sits on panel with Bill Gates & Sebastian Thrun

12 year old Pakistani prodigy sits on panel with Bill Gates & Sebastian Thrun:
Earlier this month, Khadijah Niazi of Lahore, Pakistan sat amongst Bill Gates, Sebastian Thrun of Udacity, Larry Summers of Harvard, Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times, and other distinguished panelists to discuss the game-changing nature of online education.  Khadijah is 12 years old.
In this video, the young prodicy discusses her experience taking an Udacity Course in Artificial Intelligence when she was 10. She finished that course, and the following year, became the youngest girl to ever complete Udacity’s physics course – with the highest distinction.
“I think that MOOCs may allow peace in the world,” she says at one point during the video.
Check out the video here.
