This learning unit introduces students to genetic diseases as complex biological challenges caused by changes in DNA and gene function. Learners explore the causes, types, and real-world impact of genetic disorders, as well as the scientific, technological, and ethical challenges related to their diagnosis and treatment. Through bio-inspired thinking and synthetic biology approaches, students discover how natural mechanisms such as DNA repair, gene regulation, and cellular regeneration inspire modern medical solutions, including gene therapy and gene editing. Augmented Reality (AR) is used as a key educational tool to visualize invisible molecular processes and to support the creation of an interactive AR-based quiz, transforming assessment into an active, inquiry-based learning experience.
