SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Inspiring Nature\, Inspired Techno – Biomimicry and Transport
DESCRIPTION:Members See it First!   \nThursday\, May 14 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM   \nPLUS: Snacks\, crafts\, and entertainment!   \nPlease RSVP online here\, or by calling (519) 797-2080.  \nJoin us on opening night and test your knowledge on inspiring nature and how it has impacted technology with our quiz show kicking off at 5:30 PM in the Bruce Power theatre!  \nChannel your inner engineer…. and create an invention of your own inspired by an animal or plant!   \nMake your own bee hotel\, enjoy some sliders and pizza and leave with a sweet treat.  \nCome see what all the buzz is about!  \nAfter all\, nature IS the best inventor. \n— \nAbout the Exhibit \nInspiring Nature\, Inspired Techno – Biomimicry and Transport is a unique exhibition that allows visitors to explore up to thirty natural specimens and discover how aspects of nature have been applied to create innovative technological objects.   \nThe word comes from “bios” for life and “mimesis” for imitation. The methodology relies on the observation of shapes\, processes\, and systems to imitate nature’s genius and offer innovative solutions.   \n\nDo you want to see how a kingfisher’s beak inspired engineers to make trains quieter?  \n\n\nHow did a prickly thistle lead to an invention we use every day?  \n\n\nHow are seashells helping us develop stronger windows for our homes?  \n\nThe exhibition combines themes of innovation and nature to inspire visitors and create a sense of wonder about the natural world and inspiration for how natural designs can inform future development.  \nThis traveling exhibition comes from the Musée de l’ingéniosité J. Armand Bombardier (QC). \nProudly presented by Ontario Power Generation; Media partner 101.7 the One.  \nThe exhibition is a production of the Musée de l’ingéniosité J. Armand Bombardier in collaboration with the Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke\, the Granby  \nZoo and the Institut de biomimétisme. This project was made possible thanks to the contribution of the Government of Canada.
