A Pretoria grade 11 pupil is proving that SA can compete with the rest of the world when it comes to science and technology after she took second place at an international artificial intelligence competition.
This particular challenge is exclusively for high school girls, between 14 to 18 years, who excel at maths and computer science and who are interested in pursuing a career in AI. “Prior to the challenge, I had never done anything to do with computer science. I had only known the basics. The entry requirements were maths and computer science and I qualified because of my achievement in maths. The challenge has certainly taught me a lot.”
Charlotte Jooste, a teacher from the academy who assisted Koko with preparations for the challenge, said Koko only had a few days to prepare for the challenge following her selection as a viable candidate. “The team’s presentation also covered ensuring that wild dogs be protected from geological disasters and droughts, floods and human activities,” Jooste said.
