2. Execute - Exploring Bio-Inspired AI through Interactive Activities

2.3 Practical Activities (Overview with Examples)

Activity 1: Recognizing Patterns in Cells

  • Description: Students explore interactive 3D cell models in AR (healthy vs. diseased) and observe differences in shape, size, and structure.
  • Task: Use Delightex AR viewer to rotate/zoom cells; mark visual features AI would use for classification.
  • Bio-inspired concept: Human visual perception → computer vision pattern recognition.
  • Example: Use existing biology AR templates from Delightex gallery.​

Activity 2: Exploring a Neural Network Model

  • Description: Through an AR scene built in Delightex, students interact with a simplified neural network (connected nodes/spheres).
  • Task: Activate input nodes, watch information flow through connections, observe how weights change outcomes (block-code animation).
  • Bio-inspired concept: Biological neurons and synaptic learning.
  • Example: Teacher-created template using Delightex block coding.

Activity 3: Evolution as a Learning Strategy

  • Description: Students participate in an AR simulation where virtual "creatures" compete, adapt, and evolve over generations.
  • Task: Adjust parameters (speed, size), run simulations, observe natural selection principles in action.
  • Bio-inspired concept: Evolution and adaptation → genetic algorithms in AI.
  • Example: Adapt Delightex evolution/competition templates.
