Our Biomimicry Educators Say it Best
The Biomimicry Educator Programme is transformational... but don't take our word for it! Here's what our learners had to say.
A great project makes
a great learning journey
The #1 question we get asked is: "How do I apply biomimicry?" and our answer is always: "Start with a project that you are passionate about".
But, finding the right project and challenge to work on can be tough. So we created the Biomimicry Project Playbook micro-course to guide biomimics through this process. This is a useful tool for your students to start right.
This micro-course contains short videos,
a downloadable template workbook, and a pdf handbook. Everything you need to get you started on your journey.
