Hey Everyone, I’m Avanti!

'Dream Big, Accomplish Bigger'

 Avanti stands for the sustainable development goals, gender equality, and aims to make the world a better place for future generations. Avanti wants to encourage more young girls and women to code in order to bridge the gender gap in education. 


Avanti is Pre-teen Technology Specialist at Workshop4Me, since January 2017. She is interested in the capability of Science and Technology, and likes to share the joy of coding with children. She spends her after-school hours participating in coding competitions, addressing conferences, running workshops, doing yoga, and being with family and friends.

Avanti launched Codeutainment on February 8, 2019 – a revolutionary concept, the first of its kind in the world, where Coding, Science, and Mathematics are presented in an entertaining manner in a movie hall to simulate the experience of watching a thrilling movie. 


Avanti is also GirlsInTech Luxembourg Brand Ambassador and Head of Business Development Workshop4Me.
