IRIS the Teaching Robot: Pioneering a New Era in South African Education

21 August 2025 by CapeTownNewsReader

IRIS is a smart teaching robot created to help kids in South Africa learn better, especially in rural schools that don’t have many teachers or resources. Designed by Bonisile, a young woman from a small town, IRIS gives lessons that fit each child’s pace and gives instant feedback. This robot not only makes learning more fun and fair but also shows how technology can open doors for girls and young people everywhere. South Africa hopes IRIS will change classrooms and inspire a brighter future for all children.
