2. Execute - Exploring Bio-Inspired AI through Interactive Activities
In this section, students apply what they have learned by exploring how nature inspires Artificial Intelligence and how AI helps us better understand biological systems.
Through simple, interactive activities supported by Augmented Reality (AR) using Delightex Edu🔗, learners develop practical skills such as observation, comparison, reasoning, and decision-making.
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.
