Teacher Goes Above and Beyond with Full-Body Anatomy Suit to Engage Students in Learning
Verónica Duque is not your typical educator. She is a woman who goes out of her way to ensure that her students are engaged and excited about learning. Recently, the 43-year-old decided to teach anatomy in a full-body suit that detailedly mapped out the human body.
Verónica has been teaching for 15 years and is currently a third-grade teacher. She is constantly looking for new ways to make her students’ lessons more interesting and engaging. She decided to give it a shot after seeing an advertisement for an AliExpress swimsuit that mapped out the internal organs of the human body.
Verónica went viral after her husband Michael tweeted pictures of the lesson. The tweet received over 65K likes and 14K comments, elevating her to the status of a symbol of creativity and dedication in the education community.
But Verónica isn’t finished. She has plenty more surprises in store for her students. She enjoys using disguises in history lessons and cardboard crowns in grammar lessons. She believes that teachers are frequently stereotyped as slackers, and she is determined to change that perception.

Some people compared Verónica in her full-body suit to Slim Goodbody. Slim Goodbody is a costumed character created by John Burstein who has been advocating for children’s health for over forty years. Millions of children watch his productions on Discovery Education, and his live shows tour theaters across the United States, reaching thousands of children each year.
Verónica Duque and Slim Goodbody come from different worlds, but they both share a love of education and a desire to help children learn in fun and engaging ways. More teachers like Verónica are needed, as are more education advocates like Slim. They can work together to improve the lives of countless children around the world.
