The Biomimicry 3.8 Institute has a passion for both formal and informal
public education, from K-12 and university to museum exhibits, nature
center programs, media, and publications. Wherever we teach biomimicry,
we have the choice of teaching it as a separate subject, or
incorporating it as a problem-solving method into any number of
different subjects.
| "In the classroom, curriculum around biomimicry supplies excellent
material for integrated learning and problem based learning. The
solution centered focus provides hope- filled explorations of
environmental science’s otherwise complicated and troubled conclusions."
- Hilary Staples, Science Department Chair, San Domenico High School for Girls, San Anselmo, California |
| "I think that educators at all levels should be exposed to biomimicry in
some shape or form as these principles and methods can provide much
needed guidelines and valuable material for teaching and learning…" - Bruce Snaddon, Senior Lecturer, Graphic Design Department, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa |
| "Biomimicry will change your life. It has already changed mine. And it may save the world."
- Amory Lovins, Chief Scientist, Rocky Mountain Institute |
