Meet Zora Ball, The World’s Youngest Programmer


Unlike most children who couldn't write complete sentence at childhood, Zora Ball looks back at her formative years, she’ll remember the first programming app she created.


In 2013 at just 7 years old, Ball became the youngest program developer in the world after she created a full-version mobile game application.
A student at West Philadelphia’s Harambee Institute of Science and Technology Charter School, Ball created the video game.
After being taught  a simpler way of coding, Ball used her new found skills and  created the program for her first game,  Vampire Diamonds. Ball was asked to recreate the program after people speculated it wasn’t her work, She  recreated the program, instantly to the surprise of the  haters.
