Isabel Lutz, a Grade 10 pupil and young scientist from Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool in Stellenbosch, will showcase her research project at the International Science Technology Engineering Competition (ISTEC) in Bali, Indonesia later this month. Her project, entitled, Integrating AI-enabled chatbots in the classroom – friend or foe? examines the effectiveness of using chatbots to assist second-language English learners with essay writing. She was selected for the Indonesia competition at last year’s Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair (ISF) hosted in October.
