AI has considerable potential for growth in the educational sector. In biology, technology contributes significantly to student success and classroom performance [1]. With GUTSS, an app created using AI and gamification, we aim to: 1. Improve K-12 student content visualization and retention 2. Integrate an AI application into anatomy curriculum3. Teach AI usage through anatomy 

SURVEY

Creating an ML model based on the feedback from teachers in developing communities [2]. The survey will assess the following:

1. Prior AI knowledge

2. Classroom anatomy practice

3. Input on app design

Guided Undergraduate Training for Shark Segmentation (GUTSS)

Collect and tag data from students and teachers. Supplement shark dissection datasets with AI generated anatomical images. The app will be able to identify non-aquatic organisms’ anatomical features as an application for K-12 students and teachers to learn.

�Prior work from an NSF ITEST Award indicates teachers’ willingness to integrate AI concepts into the classroom aligned with state standards [2]. Further wireframing of the application by incorporating instructor perspectives is ongoing, leveraging insights from biology teachers' survey responses on AI usage in anatomy.

AI/TECHNOLOGY

Students and teachers use the app to label and annotate images of anatomical features.

Student: Label pictures for studying and assignments

Teacher: Assigns activities for learning, and assess student responses     

METHODS

This cross-sectional study will examine the instructors' perceptions of using technology in classrooms and AI enable iOS application development.

SAM MODEL [4]

Fine-tuned models segments the image organs in the image.

GROUNDING DINO [3]

Each organ is labeled by student or AI.

The user inputs an image and runs the algorithm.

Image input and

labelling

Image manipulation

and segmentation

New labels are uploaded, scored in the database.
