A Conversational Digital Assistant for STEM Education

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence offers new possibilities for educational technologies; leveraging AI in STEM education can revolutionize traditional learning approaches. In this paper we present a digital assistant prototype designed to support students engaged in the physics pendulum experiment. The prototype has been shown to effectively discern user intentions and generate pertinent replies, resulting in a smooth and achieving learning experience. The proposed AI assistant has the potential to be a useful platform for promoting interaction and communication with students in several educational contexts. The assistant's general functioning has been shown to improve by its integration with ChatCPT, which also raises its potential that it may be a useful tool for engagement and information sharing across a variety of educational use cases. This paper also discusses the potential challenges and ethical considerations associated with the use of AI in education, emphasizing the importance of responsible AI deployment to ensure equitable access and fairness for all learners. The findings and insights presented in this paper contribute to the ongoing research and development of AI-based educational technologies and highlight the role of AI agents in STEM education.
