Biomimicry is a new discipline where today’s engineers ask the question: ‘what in the natural world has already solved what I’m trying to solve?' If you've used velcro or drank filtered water, you've already witnessed biomimicry in action. Engineers work to emulate parts of nature, and reflect these principles in their designs and models. Who knows what the next animal inspired invention could be?
This is an inquiry-based approach to advanced concepts in STEM. Open to ages 5-12, we will have themed games, crafts, and hands-on learning with the nature center animals. All students must have a parent or guardian with them at all times. These Barn Nature Center hosted events are on the first Friday of the month from 2pm-4:30pm. Cost is $25 per child and $5 per adult. We recommend students wear closed-toe shoes and bring a refillable water bottle.
