What Is Biomimicry Youth Design Challenge?
The Biomimicry Youth Design Challenge combines free learning resources with an optional design-project competition for US-equivalent grades 6–12. Created by the Biomimicry Institute and hosted by POCACITO from 2025, it asks students to develop nature-inspired solutions with an adult coach. Posted rules allow individual entries or teams of 2–8 affiliated with a school, homeschool or other legal organization; the coach handles registration and submission. Suggested work is approximately 25–30 total classroom hours, not a weekly commitment. The page mixes older rule years and does not establish a 2027 competition calendar or an open current entry form.
