Current instructional practices often emphasize programming and mathematicalmodeling, which can be inaccessible to learners with diverse cognitive profiles. Forneurodivergent students, AI-focused coursework's abstract and fast-paced nature can exacerbatelearning difficulties [2]. Many Computer Science courses rely heavily on standardizedassessment methods, such as exams and projects, which may not effectively capture the learningoutcomes of all students.

Abstract Freshwater mussels are essential parts of our ecosystems to reduce water pollution. As natural bio-filters, they deactivate pollutants such as heavy metals, providing a sustainable method for water decontamination. This project will enable the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor mussel behavior, particularly their gaping activity, to use them as bio-indicators for early detection of water contamination. In this paper, we employ advanced 3D reconstruction techniques to create detailed models of mussels to improve the accuracy of AI-based analysis. Specifically, we use a state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction tool, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), to create 3D models of mussel valve configurations and behavioral
