Description

WHAT IS BIOMIMICRY ONLINE?

Biomimicry Online is a journey of discovery into Nature’s genius and the concept and practice of biomimicry.

Developed by Sue Swain and hosted by The Expedition Project, Biomimicry Online aims to complement existing online biomimicry courses out there by focusing not on biomimicry as an approach to innovation, but instead as a way of being, a way of life.  Biomimicry is essentially the practice of Reconnecting with, Learning from and Emulating Nature’s genius and in Biomimicry as a Way of Being, our Reconnect element focuses on three things: i) re-establishing relationship with Life on Earth…learning to live again in relationship with the rest of Nature.  ii) reconnecting with our extraordinary planetary home and importantly, iii) reconnecting with ourselves as fellow earth-based beings.   Of course, biomimicry isn’t biomimicry without learning from Nature and in this, we focus on discovering lessons for living wisely on earth from our planetary elders – the plants, animals and microbes and the ecosystems/communities in which they live – and we look at how we can start applying those lessons in our daily lives.  As such, Biomimicry Online (Biomimicry as a way of Being) , is not just for designers, architects and engineers – it is for each and every one of us.

    This course was so interesting and inspiring. I recently felt a duty to reconnect with earth more and become more eco-friendly and I discovered over the course of Biomimicry online that this was my Biomimicist inside awakening! It was amazing to discover that biomimicry as a way of being was an over-arching field that encompasses how we should be living as humans. Sue introduces the concepts in a really exciting way and always leaves enough to be desired at the end of each segment to keep you endlessly clicking through the course to find out more! Excited to learn about some of the more specific examples of how biomimicry inspires specific engineering feats in upcoming courses.

    I honestly don’t think I have the words to describe how much I connected with this concept and this course. Sue calls the concept of biomimicry a “re-awakening” and I think that is the perfect way to describe how I found it. Every piece of information that was presented just clicked with me and the self-reflection tasks allowed me to deepen and develop my own views and thoughts on the concepts which were presented so clearly. I would recommend this course to absolutely anyone! From people who have a background in biology to people who just want to help make better decisions for our planet.

    Absolutely outstanding course that will revolutionize your thinking and humble you into thinking of new innovative ways to solve problems you are presented with. The course is presented in a stunning way, easily accessible to you not matter your background.
