Biomimicry STEM Project in School

Biometrics STEM Project in Schools
Fourth grade students took on the role of engineers and used the approach of biomimicry. They developed nature-inspired solutions to human problems by mimicking animal and plant structures, their functions, and the functions of sensory receptors. Students explored, experimented, and built prototypes based on their findings through the iterative process.
