Students always want to see the results of their work immediately, and they move on to the next challenge as soon as they solve the problem once.
Stanford Biomimicry Challenge: Bioneer Tower
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the Biomimicry process of using innovation from nature to solve problems. We will be using AskNature.org to identify a design principal (function in AskNature.org), which will be applied in the construction of a tower.
Water Quality & Mixtures
Students explore the properties of mixtures and their environmental impact by designing and testing mini wastewater treatment plants, analyzing how effectively their models separate contaminants, and reflecting on implications for water quality and ecosystem health.
