Nobody Does It Better: An Introduction to Biomimicry

July 27, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

FREE
  • « Who Lives in our Pond? – FULL
  • Guided Mindfulness Hiking Series »

How can we build a better world with nature as our guide? Join educator Joyce Kent and learn how. There are numerous examples of how nature has had a direct impact on human life including how the way geckos climb walls gave rise to surgical bandages that are painlessly removed and robots that can search for victims, how the inspiration for Velcro came from observing the spurs of a cocklebur, and studying how giraffes get blood to their heads helps us design spacesuits.  No registration required.
