Biotechnology holds the potential to drive innovations across various fields from agriculture to medicine. However, despite numerous interventions, biotechnology education remains highly unequal worldwide. Historically, the high costs and potential exposure to hazardous materials have hindered biotechnology education. Integration of cloud technologies into classrooms has emerged as an alternative solution that is already enabling biotechnology experiments to reach thousands of students globally. We describe several innovations that collectively facilitate real-time experimentation in biotechnology education in remote locations. These advances enable remote access to scientific data and live experiments, promote collaborative research, and ensure educational inclusivity. We propose cloud-enabled live-cell biotechnology as a mechanism for reducing inequalities in biotechnology education and promoting sustainable development.
