Introduction to Biomimicry for Middle School Biomimicry and the Built Environment

Where do ideas come from?

Bio – life Mimicry – to copy or emulate Biomimicry

Biomimicry is learning from nature how to solve human challenges and improve our world.

So, what does this mean to YOU?

Shoe soles that grip like a mountain goat Underwear that breathe like stomates of plants T-shirt that wicks sweat like a horned lizard Fasteners that stick like burrs Vitamins based on the diet of forest apes

Clothing colored without dyes like a butterfly or a peacock

Sandwich bags that biodegrade like tethers of blue mussel and zip closed like a feather

Computers as fast as neurons Energy the way electric eels or leaves make it

Systems interconnected like trees in a old- growth forest

What creatures will inspire you? What possibilities can you imagine?

Can YOU look to nature for inspiration?

Here are Some Ways to Start Take a Hike! Sit quietly outside and OBSERVE Ask questions in Biology class Stay in School Read books about the natural world Do research on your favorite creature and all its cool functions, for yourself! Go to college and study Biology and Design

Never stop asking Why or How It’s your future.
