2. Execute - Bio-Inspired Virus Modeling Through 3D Design

2.3 Practical Activities and Global Learning Examples

During this phase, students engage in practical, hands-on activities inspired by bio-inspiration approaches used in STEM education worldwide. Similar 3D modeling and AR-based exercises are commonly applied in biology and biotechnology education to help learners understand microscopic systems and communicate scientific ideas visually.

Example activities include:

  • Designing a virus model that demonstrates how structure enables attachment and protection
  • Modifying surface features to explore how changes affect interaction with host cells
  • Presenting the virus model in AR as an educational object, explaining its function to peers

These activities reflect real-world scientific practices, where digital models and AR visualizations are used for research, education, and communication.
