The Youth Design Challenge is open to all middle school and high school students interested in competing. Students can either submit projects individually or form groups of up to eight students […]
The Spark Awards Competitions is a competition for designers, which UC Berkeley students have participated in. It focuses on eight design categories: product, space, concept pro, cleantech, digital, experience, graphic, health, package, student, and transport/mobility design. Although they have yet to add a category for bio-inspired design, […]
The objective of the GSBA2021 discusses about the new biomaterial concepts, their modeling and simulation, biological and biomedical functions, and finally applications of novel bioinspired biomaterial designs. The conference offers a diverse scientific program covers the latest, cutting-edge developments which can change the course of science to benefit the human society. […]
The Global Design Challenge challenges participants to tackle some of the most pressing that the world faces using nature/bio-inspired innovation. These challenges are derived from the UN Sustainable Development goals, which include reaching no poverty, reduced inequality, and clean and potable water for all. The competition encourages thoughtful bio-design with the […]
This is the 2021 Global Biomimicry Design Challenge. Competitors submit their work that showcases biomimicry in design and aims to create products, materials, and systems that are regenerative for all species. They have a challenge called the 1 degree challenge, where humans collaborate to decrease climate change […]
The Biomimicry Institute serves to “naturalize biomimicry in the culture by promoting the transfer of ideas, designs, and strategies from biology to sustainable systems design.” They host a few competitions and scholarship opportunities, including Global Design Challenge, in which a team of two to eight university students […]
By combining human ingenuity with nature’s genius, the possibilities are infinite! Every single person can make a difference, even by 1°. How many #degreesofchange can you make with nature as your mentor? The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge is an annual competition that asks […]
The National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) Bio-Inspired Materials was established in 2014 to be an internationally recognized hub for smart materials research, education, and innovation. In March 2020, NCCR’s Bioinspired Materials Principal Investigator, Professor Francesco Stellacci (from Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausann) won the prestigious Advanced Grant by […]
“We took a protein from a snow-making company and modified it,” Paola Camacho, a design student on the grand-prize-winning team from Universidad de Los Andes, told Forbes. “We did research and found that by modifying the protein it would be possible to create ice at high at higher temperatures. Their project, […]
The Biomimicry Institute invites students and professionals worldwide to participate in the 2020 Biomimicry Global Design Challenge to create viable solutions inspired by nature that address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Challenge aims to mobilize thousands to look to life on our planet as models, mentors and as […]
