Professional Impact

I was invited to share how I use AI-built simulations to teach science. Simulations make conceptual understanding easier because they show processes that can't be shown in a school lab, such as natural selection over generations or what happens inside a cell.

I took over 40 participants from schools across Singapore through my approach. We covered how to design for inquiry and how to use AI to build simulations, including adapting them for other subjects. The session ended with a hands-on segment and a live demo of my Natural Selection simulation.

Green Quest is a student-led programme that raises awareness of environmental problems in school. I designed the programme, and with a team of teachers trained more than 20 student ambassadors to run it. They ran a recess booth during every recess, sharing with students across the whole school.

The ambassadors taught their peers about coral bleaching: why it happens and what it does to a reef ecosystem.

Before presenting at SgLDC, I shared my workflow with my own science department. I showed fellow teachers how to work with AI to build and refine interactive simulations for their lessons. This in-school session helped shape the approach I later presented to educators nationally.
