Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Nambinintsoa, and I am a student at Miarinarivo High School, in my junior year. As a student, my favorite subjects are Life and Earth Sciences, Physics, and History-Geography.
What do you enjoy doing outside of school?
Outside of school, I like computer programming and learning on the internet. I really enjoy doing all of these things, but there are always obstacles that prevent me from doing them to the fullest, such as the lack of equipment outside the ITCUP center, and also the lack of a laboratory to do experiments in Physics or Life and Earth Sciences.
I improved my internet skills at the ITCUP center, and I now know that there are also forms of online violence.
That's why I come to the center to participate in academic support, cyber, technical club, e-hianatra, and various themed workshops. Participating in all the activities organized at the ITCUP center has really helped me a lot.
For example, I learned how to use a computer even though no one taught me directly; I noticed that my grades at school improved thanks to my participation in academic support activities at the ITCUP center; I also improved my internet skills, and I now know that there are also forms of online violence.

What I want to say is that we women must always be brave and not accept the idea that only men can be scientists. Women are just as capable. We must persevere, not get discouraged, study science in depth, and learn about the internet and computer science, because these fields are not reserved solely for men: all genders can benefit from them.
All of this motivates me to continue hoping that one day I will be Madagascar's ambassador to other countries, because I am confident that I will achieve this goal. I will work hard in my studies, I will not be discouraged, I will not give up along the way, and I will see it through to the end.
