The holder of this badge has the tools to design programming & activities for children & youth to help them “think like a biomimic” by looking to Nature for design ideas, and creating experiments to explain and evaluate biological strategies. Both biomimicry design thinking pathways: "biology to design" and "challenge to biology" are practiced and the key foundations and Biomimicry 3.8 frameworks are explored. Additional tools and resources to support young designers have been reviewed.
