This course is a unique partnership between the University of California, San Diego and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. This class provides students with a unique look at biomimicry by coupling hands-on activities in the classroom with mission-based learning at the Zoo. Each Saturday, students will spend the morning learning about the fundamental principles that shape design in both man-made technologies and the natural world. In the afternoon, students will explore living examples of these principles within the Zoo’s collection of animals and plants.

The daily schedule includes a morning session at the UCSD Extension Offices in Mission Valley consisting of a combination of lecture, hands-on activities, group presentations, and class discussion. Students will then travel to the San Diego Zoo for an afternoon session consisting of animal demonstrations, behind-the-scenes experiences, and “adaptation scavenger hunts.”
