Arjun Gambhir, 5th Year student at Marian College Dublin (Ireland), recently had the honor of winning the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) 2025 in the Social and Behavioral Science category for his project titled: “Neuro-cognitive Effects of Generative AI-Created Versus Human-Made Content on Teens: A Comparative Study on Creativity and Cognitive Load.”
The project examines how generative AI content and human-created content influence creativity and cognitive load among teenagers, offering critical insights into the impact of rapidly advancing AI technologies on young minds. This topic is particularly relevant as society grapples with the increasing role of AI in education, media, and creative industries.
The project bagged 2 awards, I am also thrilled to share that his project also earned the prestigious Williams Lea Design Award for outstanding design presentation—a recognition that underscores the innovative approach employed in this research.

The project was judged by eminent personalities, including Prof. Ian Robertson, a renowned neuroscientist, and Dr. Nicola Millard, a leading expert in cognitive science and technology. Their endorsement further validates the significance of this work in today’s fast-evolving digital landscape.
This would not have been possible without the guidance and support of his teachers, esp. Dr. Mccabe and the school. We would like to thank all teachers fr developing the passion for problem solving & contributing to the community, in our child and also for providing the most healthy learning environment for his development.
This achievement is not just a personal milestone for Arjun but also a reflection of the vibrant talent in our community.
