Nature’s Blueprint: Biomimicry Lessons from KQED’s Deep Look Wildlife Series

  • Audience: Families, Adults, Middle School Students, High School Students

Drawing on years of award-winning wildlife cinematography for PBS/KQED’s Deep Look, Josh Cassidy takes a close-up look at organisms whose evolved solutions inspire human engineering and design: the transparent wings of glasswing butterflies, the adhesive toes of geckos, the sound-dampening structure of owl feathers, and the underwater bonding power of mussel cement. Part nature documentary, part innovation case study, this talk connects wild animals to real-world science and design breakthroughs.
