Biomimicry Workshop: how humans are inspired by nature
Animals and plants are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the researchers and engineers who observe them. Imitating nature to improve materials and technologies is called biomimicry. In this fun and educational workshop, participants will be invited to discover biomimicry and become scientists. They will learn how it has shaped our world and then use their imagination to create the human 2.0, a human augmented and enriched with capacities inspired by the animal world.
