Biomimicry Day

Biomimicry Day: Interdisciplinary Design

Come join educators on Friday April 12 from 10 am to 2:30 pm in L200 College Hill Library at the Westminster Campus on Front Range Community College (FRCC).

Biomimicry Day at FRCC is an event for curious educators to take an interdisciplinary approach to introducing our students to the emerging field of biomimicry and viewing biological phenomena from a new perspective. Biomimicry (from bios meaning life and mimesis meaning to imitate) is a new discipline that studies nature’s best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems ranging from medicines to traffic to economy to sustainable urban growth.
