Biomimicry is an engineering approach that studies nature's designs and processes to help solve human challenges. For example, the study of birds and their anatomies inspired the eventual invention of airplanes. Creatividad silvestre | Wild Creativity explores biomimicry through hands-on design challenges, spotlighting the interplay between the art and natural sciences and how it continues to inform our world.
This traveling exhibit has previously been hosted by Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland, OR; Fleet Science Center in San Diego, CA; and the Scott Family Amazeum in Bentonville, AR. It was produced and is toured by OMSI. The exhibit was made possible by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant (DRL 1811617) and in partnership with Biomimicry Institute, Adelante Mujeres, and The Fleet Science Center.
