This interactive workshop invites participants to work in small teams to explore climate challenges (eg: urban heat or water scarcity) through the lens of biomimicry. Guided by visual prompts (slide show) and stories of how organisms solve similar problems in nature (eg: how they collect water), teams will brainstorm, sketch, and develop design concepts using large-format poster paper and colored markers. As ideas take shape, each team’s work is displayed, transforming the space into a gallery of bio-inspired solutions. The session emphasizes creative thinking, collaboration, and hands-on exploration.
