How nature inspires engineers and scientists to help humans.
​​
ZooLab and EngineeringUK have created a brand-new interactive Biomimicry show. It takes an up-close look at the animals that are inspiring engineers to help us humans.
​
With ZooLab's expert presenters and animal handlers, students will get to meet the likes of lizards, frogs, tarantulas, cockroaches and snakes as they learn about the real work engineers are doing to create new materials, robots and technologies.
