LEARNING FROM NATURE: BIOMIMICRY DESIGN CHALLENGE

For Grades K - 12

Designers, artists, engineers, medical experts, and more draw inspiration from nature every day! 

During this in-museum field trip, students will explore innovative examples from MODA’s past and current exhibitions of objects, buildings, fashion, and more inspired by animals, plants, and natural systems, a process called Biomimicry. Students will then create their own innovation inspired by nature using familiar tools like LEGO, Play-Doh, and crafting materials.
