Mimicry occured in nature as species tahe advantageous characteristics from other species to help them survive. As humans, we have also taken this idea of biomimicry and used nature as a design inspiration to sustainably solve human problems. some examples include: whale fins as wind turbines, shark skin materials for marine vessels and swimwear, burrs stick to animals and velcro, water collecting beetles and environmental application. Questions 1. Identify a real world challenge and think about potential designs to solve or help with this challenge. 2. research nature's models - what biomimicry can we see in nature for this challenge? 3. describe a model that could aid in the real world issue and have potential sustainable application.
