Learning to Think in Wild New Ways with the Biomimicry Youth Design Challenge
By Gretchen Hooker, Program Manager, Biomimicry Institute When two students in Kirstin Bullington’s clean energy engineering class decided to take on the challenge of designing a more efficient solar panel, they looked to a seemingly unlikely source for...
Welcome to the Climate-Change-Reversing Invention Convention
At its heart, Bioneers is a nexus to explore nature-inspired solutions to social and environmental challenges. This year’s summit also served as the culmination of the third-annual Biomimicry Global Design Challenge, sponsored by the Biomimicry Institute in partnership with the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. Sierra Magazine profiled each of the teams who took the stage at Bioneers this year, sharing details about their planet-saving innovations.
Planting more forest in less time: Nature-inspired reforestation solution captures the 2018 Ray of Hope Prize
Nucleário, an all-in-one reforestation solution, designed to be used in remote areas of the Atlantic rainforest, has won the 2018 Ray of Hope Prize®.
These entrepreneurs are looking to nature to develop innovations that give more than they take.
This year at Bioneers, six international teams from the Biomimicry Launchpad will showcase their climate change solutions, all based on lessons learned from living systems.
Challenge yourself to design generously.
Can human designs give more to the planet than they take? We need a new generation of innovators, who know how to create man-made materials, products, and systems that are regenerative, circular, and generous to all species.
