9 Year Old Pakistani Girl Sets Guinness World Record
A nine year old girl, Natalia Najam from Lahore, Pakistan just set the Guinness World Record for the fastest periodic table arrangement on July 18th, 2020, taking only 2 minutes and 42 seconds.
Natalia Najam is a young science enthusiast from Lahore who has broken the Guinness World Record by all of 7 seconds, breaking the previously held record of an Indian economics professor, Meenakshi Agarwal who had completed the arrangement task in 2 minutes and 49 seconds.
By setting this record, Natalia hopes to inspire other kids around the globe to pursue and continue excelling in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). While she may have hoped to inspire kids, she has definitely become an inspiration to women and girls with this win.
According to Gulf News, her father, Hasan Najam stated that his daughter has been homeschooled and has not received formal education.
Congratulations Natalia!
