LearningCell

This is an interactive 3D biology teaching website for Chinese-language classrooms that lets students explore detailed models of biological structures. It displays five scientifically accurate 3D models that can be rotated, zoomed, and examined: a plant cell, an animal cell, a white blood cell, a neuron, and a DNA double helix.

The site loads the first model immediately when you visit, then quietly downloads the remaining four in the background so they are ready when you click on them. Each model file is compressed and cached by the browser, so repeat visits load near-instantly. Clicking a model in the sidebar brings up information alongside the 3D view, allowing students to visually connect structure to function while studying cell biology.

You would use or deploy this if you teach biology in a Chinese-language setting and want a free, visually engaging tool for students to explore cell structures on any device with a modern web browser. No installation or account is needed to use it. The application is built with TypeScript using React and the three.js library for 3D rendering in the browser, and can be deployed to GitHub Pages with the included workflow file.
