Creative Ways to use AI in Science Education
Elizabeth Stewart, InnovATEBIO
Music has been a powerful tool in education for centuries. Can anyone list all 50 states without the melody that goes with them? Or recite the ABC’s without at least a little of the lilting preschool song coming through? And a student doesn’t need to be young for the music to enhance both learning and enjoyment. See Dr. Gabriel Guzman’s LinkedIn post, or watch his YouTube AI generated videos on science to hear and see information presented in a memorable AND accurate fashion. Rappers covering microbiology, smooth jazz or contemporary pop on enzymes, the way Dr. G covers the world of science can be “music to your ears”! Each video is carefully vetted for completeness and accuracy, making them powerful study tools.
Along with music, Dr. G has explored history, using AI to create reenactments of historical figures that helped build science as we know it today. Yes, there was some creative license to make these videos, but that is carefully acknowledged and the process allowed the creation of fascinating windows into a time when so many fundamental ideas were being examined. Watch science from the past centuries come to life!
