Description of the learning unit

This interdisciplinary learning unit introduces students to how Artificial Intelligence interprets biological systems by learning from nature. Using a bio-inspired STEM approach and Augmented Reality tools, students explore how biological structures and processes can be transformed into data, patterns, and models that AI systems analyze. The unit combines theoretical exploration with interactive AR-based activities developed in Delightex Edu to support understanding, engagement, and practical application.
