"Just a side note, my work here with the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme is what got me this job"

I would really recommend these biomimicry short courses to anyone interested in expanding your knowledge and thinking outside the box in a more harmonic way with the natural environment. 

The course set is beautifully designed with amazing graphs, very well paced, and uses great examples to illustrate the ideas presented. 

Besides being affordable. I feel very motivated to keep learning Biomimicry and to apply it in my professional life.

Biomimicry enables innovators to look at nature for solutions, which has survived, thrived and continued through 3.8 million years of change. The 3 courses give a great foundation to biomimicry and I have likely started a lifelong journey to learn more, as nature has already solved many of the problems we face in the future.

I am a mechanical engineer who recently started working in the field. I realized that what I thought engineering was in practice and what it actually is didn't align as well as I hoped it would. However after taking part in this course, I realized what engineering CAN be for me if I just approach it from the right angle and through the correct lens. 

This course not only changed the trajectory of my career, it also opened my eyes and reminded me of all the amazing things that our beautiful world has to offer. I feel this has been the turning point in my life that I have been trying to manifest.

Hello! My name is Nelson and I'm a material sustainability professional based in Colorado. I recently finished the practitioner program with an interest in a life-friendly chemistry fishing line. This course has not only brought me closer to the natural world I love, but also helped me to look at nature's design genius in a much deeper and more thought provoking way. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this course, including all of the members and mentors at Learn Biomimicry who are all INCREDIBLE! How they approached, taught, and mentored the course was better than any university class I ever took. They were always happy to help and extremely insightful. Although the course itself is over, I've come to learn how infinite the possibilities and opportunities are by adopting a biomimicry mindset, which has set me out on a wonderful lifelong journey. A huge thanks to the Learn Biomimicry team, this course has changed my life.

The Learn Biomimicry team members are very knowledgeable, super kind and extremely supportive in helping us stay on track. 

The program fits well into my schedule because of the schedule options provided and you can learn at your own pace within a month or two for each section.

These biomimicry short courses are mind-opening, inspirational, and soul-nourishing. It will expand the traditional way how you view nature and inspire you to look deeper into its pearls of wisdom. Ultimately, it calls you to cultivate a deeper connection with nature on a personal level.

This is a fantastic, foundational short course! The concepts are described in easy-to-understand terms (biology degree not needed). The visuals and case studies are illuminating and inspiring. I would highly recommend this course to anyone just starting their biomimicry journey.

"Absolutely enjoyed the Introduction to Biomimicry short course, found it educational and inspiring, absolutely worth the time and effort. Highly recommended"

As a lifelong student of biomimicry, I'm dedicated to deepening my knowledge of this dynamic and ever-evolving discipline. From revisiting core concepts and systems thinking to delving into real-life case studies, this course has proven to be valuable to my biomimicry journey! I'm grateful. Thank you!

I will never look at nature the same way again after taking this course. I have become deeply interested in learning from nature and perhaps inspired to shift my lifestyle in a way that makes me thrive beautifully like nature does. 

Humans have completely degenerated the planet, and after taking this course, I have become hopeful that we can make a shift toward regenerating our environment so that our planet is thriving and resilient once again.

Outstanding Course. I will be referring to this content over and over again. It helped to establish an entirely new Mindset on approaching design challenges - not only materially, but in terms of organisational, community and leadership development.

I enjoyed every aspect of the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme, it was well-developed and easy to understand.

The Biomimicry Practitioner Programme gave me ample confidence and design thinking skills that can be used for a lifetime. I've learned to look at each and everything from a different perspective and dive deeper into its function, strategy, and mechanism whether big or small. THANK YOU, this course was awesome! Best 6 months ever!

After taking part in this shared experience, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to practice biomimicry while being supported by a wonderful team of experts and also meeting people around the world with similar interests. I learned a lot from my cohort, a mind-opening experience that left me inspired and motivated for my future work. Thank you!

loving every minute of the course!

This learning experience changed my world and how I can go about transforming the way I do business. Nature is the best company, the best mentor, and the best example. The Biomimicry Practitioner learning journey with Learn Biomimicry was amazing.

The Foundational Course Set is a must-do course to fully understand what biomimicry is and how we can apply life principles to every aspect of life. This course really pulls everything together in an engaging and enlightening way.

I found this course very exciting and inspiring. It has changed my view about what may be possible to transform production, processes and systems to try and reach a carbon-neutral world within a timeframe which would prevent disastrous climate change. It is a source of hope.

The Introduction to Biomimicry course teaches you how to think disruptively in a responsible and sustainable manner. This course truly lays the foundation in specific steps to allow you to learn how to create real impact, innovation and change. In the end, you'll be constantly asking yourself... What can I learn from nature?

The Biomimicry Educator Programme changed the way I approach my 6th-grade science curriculum. The structure of the program was concise, clear, and organized. The format for resources and submitting work was clear and easy to access. Over the six months, I reworked the focus of my science standards to include WHAT we can learn FROM nature to solve current issues.

This course really helped me understand that there is still a lot more to learn about biomimicry, and so, now more than ever I want to keep on learning.

If you've been captivated by the potential of biomimicry and how it can shape a more sustainable and innovative future then the Learn Biomimicry Educators Programme should be your go-to next step! 

Beyond the well-design, accessible and thorough curriculum materials that form the backbone of the programme, the real 'gold' within this program is the connections and discussions you'll have with like-minded colleagues and mentors from across the globe that inspire you to take your biomimicry ideas further than you've probably ever thought possible. 

 The sky is no longer the limit... it's just the start

This is the best Introduction to Biomimicry course I’ve found online so far. Plus, it explored more great examples of how biomimicry is being applied than I have seen elsewhere. I definitely recommend this course!

I'd recommend the foundational courses to anyone who is interested in looking at what we can learn from nature and apply it into our every day lives. It's clear, visual and short but the amount that is covered is vast, practical and helpful.

The biomimicry practitioner program was by far the best career and general life decision I have ever made. The program completely challenged the way I had viewed knowledge - not just the world. Often, in career and academia, we are taught to reproduce singular forms of knowledge that are linear in nature - whilst most of the anthropogenic challenges we face in the world are often interdisciplinary and complex. Biomimicry is a perfect response to applying cross-disciplinary and systems thinking to practical challenges that most disciplines cannot solve alone, moving away from linear thinking and into harmony with nature's regenerative cycles. 

The program gives you the creative freedom to step out of restrictive thinking and provides a lens which can be applied in virtually every industry and role. My project allowed me to think critically and design a portable, lightweight air pollution filter which could not only capture emissions but use the emissions as feedstocks for resource-intensive industries. It didn't take too long until I decided to expand on my learnings and apply systems thinking and cyclical principles from nature to develop my own start-up which draws its inspiration from industrial ecology - where companies can work in symbiotic relationships to develop more sustainable outcomes in their supply chains. Before long, I was inspired by the way slime mould finds its quickest path to success by stripping away layers of hierarchy and allowing cells to self-organize, and applied this design to a digital platform. 

I am forever indebted to the wonderful team at Learn Biomimicry - they provided a space to learn, reflect, create and innovate, these skills will stay with me for the rest of my life. As Jess had wonderfully said in our final presentations, the end was really just the beginning, and this holds very true.

In my overall experience of the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme, I was amazed to learn how nature has evolved to overcome complex challenges in its own way, and how we can learn from nature to solve human problems through artistic and engineering design. It gave me a valuable perspective on how to approach engineering design problems. I learned how to look to nature for inspiration and how to apply the principles of biomimicry to create innovative and efficient solutions. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in engineering design, robotics, or biomimicry

The Introduction to Biomimicry course is packed with interesting content and made me realise just how much there is to learn from the world around us. My favourite part were the incredible case studies of companies that have successfully incorporated lessons from nature into their designs.

The team have done an incredible job on this course!

The Biomimicry Short Course Set is truly amazing and perfect for anyone interested in learning how they integrate nature into every function of life. Being a civil engineer there is a multitude of knowledge that can be derived from nature that helps us to design anything in the built environment. 

It gives us the opportunity to reflect on where we have come as a species and where we are headed and how nature can become the solution to many of the problems that we face today. Claire is an excellent instructor and gives the course in bite-sized videos that are perfect if you have a busy schedule. Take the step today and change your view of the world which we come from.

Being in this Biomimicry Practitioners Programme has been a very inspiring and enriching journey! Fascinating to see how looking from the perspective of functions opens new doors to look in a different, out-of-the-box way to your challenge. 

The Biomimicry Framework is such a rich methodology to find mechanisms and design principles in nature that could - in my case often metaphorically - be translated into success principles for innovation in (collaboration in) a circular biobased economy. 

It gave me new insights that I can and will apply in my work, further exploring this with production chain partners to establish a successful coalition in moving from environmentally damaging construction towards sustainable circular biobased construction. And I am sure I can, and will, be using it for other challenges in my work as well! 

It was very nice and helpful to be able to have in-between-meetings with Melissa, Yuma and Jess to steer me in the right direction. Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge! 

It must be the greatest job of the world to be in the Learn Biomimicry Team and guide people from around the world to make their work and designs based on the wealth of knowledge and inspiration nature provides us!
