A course on Biomimicry by IIT Madras
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras is all set to offer a full semester, one-of-its-kind course under the interdisciplinary stream on Biomimicry. As the name suggests is to imitate or look at Nature as a source of inspiration to solve complex problems.
It is the intersection of biology and engineering. You do not have to be either a biologist or an engineer to learn biomimicry, all you need is curiosity.
The course has potential not only in engineering, technology and design, but also in areas like management, human resources, administration, social sciences and the arts. School children can benefit from learning biomimicry and can lead to not just innovating from Nature but also creating a sustainable way of life.
