Mahrooz, A 16-year-old student from Karachi has amazed everyone by creating Pakistan’s first Sindhi-language calculator using artificial intelligence (AI). This innovative tool, developed in just three days, aims to assist Sindhi-speaking businesspeople in their daily tasks.
Mahrooz, a student at Karachi’s Rehan Allah Wala AI School, explained that her project was designed to help Sindh’s large population, particularly those who struggle with education and can only speak and understand Sindhi, Tribune Express Reported
She said, “I created this calculator using AI, keeping in mind the needs of Sindhi-speaking individuals. If the government shows interest, this tool can also be commercialized.”
The AI School, known for its advanced technology, does not rely on traditional tools like books and pencils. Instead, students are taught using smart devices and artificial intelligence, which has transformed the way education is delivered.
“In today’s world, acquiring skills is more important than earning degrees,” Mahrooz added. “Young people can earn and succeed by nurturing their talents and learning new things. I’m already earning in dollars, and I also have a private channel.”
She urged other young people to focus on skill development rather than waiting for degrees and to start working immediately. Mahrooz has won awards in public speaking competitions and is eager to continue her journey as a public speaker.
Her creativity has been praised by her teacher, Rubab Fatima, who is the vice-principal of the AI School. She said, “We teach students to earn while they learn.”
She further explained, “Our curriculum is designed to help students start earning during their studies, and we also provide classes to help their parents understand the curriculum.”
Despite the growing number of girls studying science subjects in Karachi and across the province, very few women are advancing in practical science and research at national and international levels.
This gap remains a concern, especially on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated every year on February 11.
Mahrooz’s success reflects the changing landscape of education and skill development in Pakistan, particularly for young women in science and technology.
