SELMA, Calif. - Amal Qasem pulls up a mathematics app on her phone that she programmed then displays the computer coding that went into its creation - a sequence of data that resembles a line of colorful puzzle pieces linked together.
She understands this complicated computer conversation in cyberspace exceptionally well although she s just 15 years old and still learning to speak English.
Amal finished making her app - which earned a perfect score in her computer science elective class at Abraham Lincoln Middle School in Selma - days before her peers.
