Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that looks to nature as a source of solutions to human problems. The concept applies design thinking directly, by mimicking the principles and processes found in the natural world, towards the constraints of human design challenges. Join us to learn about biomimicry through an exploration of theory and case studies with Jared Yarnall-Schane, Entrepreneurship Director at the Biomimicry Institute, and get answers to your questions about how to apply the concepts of biomimicry in your own work.
