Unlock the power of storytelling to transform biotech education. This hands-on workshop empowers instructors to use AI tools to craft engaging story wrappers around biotechnological concepts and lab skills. Learn to teach mitosis and breast cancer biomarkers through patient journeys, explore the science of heartbreak to explain anatomy and physiology, or unpack the mystery of Auto-Brewery Syndrome to spark discussions around diagnostic panels and legal implications. We’ll also dive into the role of SNPs in opioid addiction and metabolic signals in drugs like semaglutide/Ozempic—all framed within compelling, student-centered narratives. Participants will practice building story-driven lesson hooks that tie directly into core skills like ELISA and PCR testing. Leave with ready-to-adapt scenarios and strategies that bring complex science to life, while deepening student engagement and curiosity in biotechnology’s real-world impact.
