Isabel Masawi is graduating from Agnes Scott College, in May 2024, with a B.S. in Physics, a B.A. in Mathematics, and a minor in The Foundations of Artificial Intelligence. Isabel was born and raised in Zimbabwe. Before the PiAf fellowship, Isabel also worked with Metis, an organization specializing in training leaders in education, under the ALforEducation apprenticeship. Isabel is passionate about education beyond the classroom, teaching younger children skills like programming, electronics, and robotics and about Africa’s technological and economic development. At Agnes Scott, she competed in intercollegiate soccer and made the list of all academic honors for three years in a row. She is an Omicron Delta Kappa National Honor Society member and a Tri-Alpha (AAA) National Honor Society member for first-generation college students. In the future, Isabel’s goal is to pursue a graduate degree in engineering and establish a technological and industrial presence in Zimbabwe or Africa, that speaks out for the youth, empowers them, and develops their talents inside and outside the classroom as she believes it is imperative to create a platform that introduces young people to problem-solving skills and engineering for those who would want to pursue the discipline.
