Techwomen, Techgirls Algeria Club

My name is Manel Roumaissa Benabid , I’m an 18 years old algerian currently studying in Lebanon. I’m a TechGirl 2018 alumni, I was born and raised in Algeria, I finished my studies this year with a baccalaureate degree of 2019 . I’m a girl who likes to explore new ideas and aspects and who is never afraid to try new things and always eager for exciting experiences. A person who enjoys nature and working on ways on saving the environment using technology . Why did you choose The Tomorrow's Leaders Program ? MEPI TL stands for Middle East Partnership Initiative Tomorrow’s Leaders. The reason why I chose MEPI TL is because I found it the best opportunity that I could be offered, MEPI TL is for highschool graduates who are willing but unfortunately unprivileged to pursue studies in higher   universities, MEPI TL offers undergraduate and graduate studies in Lebanese American University ( LAU), The American University of Beirut (AUB) , and now in the American Universit

Poetically I’m a lost soul homesick for a place I’ve never known. Realistically, I’m a 19-year old Algerian author, one of the first to publish in English in Algeria, starting with my first book " Whispers of the Night " , which was published back in 2017. An avid reader with a growing passion for words and letters.  I am also an electrical engineering student at the National Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, IGEE ex-Inelec and Alumna of TechGirls Program , I aspire to become a leader in the microelectronics industry and empower the presence of women in STEM fields, especially engineering. I like to believe that I’m a global citizen, and I never have a correct answer for the “ where are you from ” question; My origins are from Tizi-Ouzou, but I was born and raised in Laghouat, I spent 17 years of life there and then studies led me to Boumerdes, where I’ve been living now for over two years.                                                Wr
