ZooLab at The Big Bang Fair
Corporate Case Study
Over the last year, we have had the pleasure of working with Engineering UK to create a new STEM workshop, Biomimicry.
The Challenge
The Big Bang Fair wanted a corporate experience that would:
-
Give students an up-close look at the animals that are inspiring engineers to help humans
-
Teach about the work engineers are doing to create new materials, robots, and technologies
-
Encourage young people to consider STEM fields for further education and career opportunities
Our Solution
We delivered our new Biomimicry workshop to over 20,000 students, igniting curiosity and inspiring future STEM workers.
We deliver Biomimicry on behalf of Engineering UK, utilising our nationwide network of educational presenters and access to schools.
Through fun experiments and animal encounters, participants discovered how snake venom is being used in medications, how gecko feet have inspired new adhesive tapes and how cockroaches have inspired robots to potentially assist in natural disasters.
The Impact
With a little inspiration from nature, the next generation is ready to engineer a better tomorrow.
-
Over 20,000 students were entertained and educated by ZooLab's Biomimicry workshop
-
Engineering UK enabled young people from all backgrounds to progress into engineering and tech. This was aided by our sessions
