Every summer since its founding, The Biomimicry Institute has hosted the Biomimicry Education Summit. This interactive conference brings together practicing biomimicry professors and instructors from around the world to engage, collaborate, and network. Experienced biomimicry educators share the challenges and solutions they’ve discovered in their classrooms, and glean new insights, materials, and support from the education staff at The Biomimicry Institute. If you are bringing biomimicry into your classroom or would like to know more about how to integrate biomimicry into your learning materials, please consider attending our annual meeting.

Check link above for more information (the agenda and speakers have recently been posted).

Thanks to the Biomimicry Institute and Karen Verbeek for the pointer!
