Bioinspired Design: Looking to Biology for Better Solutions

Students will identify a problem with an existing product and investigate biological functions to inspire a product redesign. Through independent research using AI bots and scholarly sources, students will gain a new perspective on STEM, biology, and the human interface between.

Lesson 2
In their investigations, students will learn about 'traits' in biology, and think about how function forms an analogous bridge between biology and engineering. In comparing organismal adaptations in their research, they will deepen their understanding of how evolution shapes populations over time.
