Start with nature. Design with purpose.

How does a seed travel through the air? What helps a claw grip? Through biomimicry, students investigate how natural structures work, then use what they learn to design, build, and test their own solutions.

Science informs their designs. Testing gives them a reason to look closer.

This approach brings the NGSS crosscutting concept of structure and function to life and connects classroom learning to the work of scientists and engineers.
