Hamra explores the transformative role of technology in shaping modern learning, transportation, and healthcare. She celebrates the brilliance of EdTech and its power to make education more accessible and engaging for young minds. Yet, she also poses an important question — is technology truly good or bad? Through her reflections, Hamra reminds us that taking technology away would send us back to the Stone Age. Her message is clear: technology isn’t just a tool, it’s the future. She encourages children and young people everywhere to embrace it wisely, creatively, and with purpose — because the world of tomorrow begins with how we use technology today. Hamra Babangida, 12, brings a rare balance of intellect and discipline. Having memorized the Holy Qur’an, she draws strength from her faith while nurturing a deep love for reading and sports — both of which continue to shape her journey of growth and self-discovery.
