Description

Get inspired by nature as you learn about biomimicry. Have you ever wondered about how nature can help people? Biomimicry uses strategies found in nature to design solutions to human problems. By studying nature, we have learned how to create buildings that don’t need air conditioning, how to design high-speed trains, and how to create wetsuits that keep us warm in very cold water. Join us to learn more about how the animal world has inspired inventors! This program is for ages 8-12 years. The program will be held indoors in the Kiebler Room, located on the second floor of the large barn. Face coverings are required for all individuals age 2 and over when indoors at Cosley Zoo. This class requires a minimum number of participants in order to run. Registration fees are non-refundable unless the zoo needs to cancel the program, in which case participants will be notified and will receive a full refund. Cosley Zoo gives visitors up-close interactions with nature right in the heart of the suburbs. Nestled on 5 acres, Cosley Zoo is home to farm animals and native Illinois wildlife. Visitors will discover exhibits that immerse them in natural habitats for white-tailed deer, red fox, Blanding’s turtles, bobcat, coyote, and more. Cosley Zoo is also a center for education and wildlife conservation, offering programs that teach people of all ages how to care for the world around them and give back to the communities in which they live, work, and play.
