We will whirl around in airplanes inspired by birds, and in helicopters influenced by the dragonfly, and even jump from a few such vehicles to illustrate how wingsuits were invented based on the flying squirrel! But engineers aren't the only scientists looking toward nature. We will also meet with biologists studying the behavior patterns of ants, architects who design "living buildings," and roboticists who are making their designs stronger based on animals. This series will show kids how understanding nature can help them make the next great discovery. After all, nature knows best! |
