Biodesign Lab: Learn How Animals, Plants, And Ecosystems Solve Problems

In Biodesign Lab, the children will explore the amazing ways living things in nature have evolved to solve complex challenges – and how those same ideas are being used to invent real-world solutions today!

Over five exciting days, children will become nature-inspired designers as they explore fascinating topics such as:

• Bioluminescence and magnetic migration: the glowing wonders of nature and how animals sense direction using Earth’s magnetic field.
• Shark skin and supersonic trains: how Japanese engineers studied sharks to make bullet trains faster and quiete
• Plant power and fungi science: discovering how trees, chlorophyll, and even mushrooms help engineers build greener tech.
• Secrets of camouflage and night vision: learning how animals hide, see in the dark, and move silently – and how we use those ideas in technology.
• Incredible insect engineers: cicadas, bees, and dragonflies show us how to build better structures, create sound, and even fly!

Each day features a mix of fun experiments, interactive lessons, and creative building challenges where kids will imagine and design their own nature-inspired inventions.

Perfect for young builders, animal lovers, and future inventors!
