Let's mimic project - Dissemination activity with students from primary school

On April 24, 2025, an engaging and educational event brought together students from three local primary schools—grades 0, 1, and 3—for a day of exploration and creativity centered around biomimicry. Hosted as part of the Self-Regulated Learning Kit initiative developed by the Romanian partners at ATS, the event introduced young learners to the fascinating world of nature-inspired innovation.

The activities were aligned with the Self-Regulated Learning Kit themes, encouraging students to reflect on their learning process, set goals, and evaluate their understanding. The event not only introduced the concept of biomimicry in a fun and accessible way but also fostered curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. It was a vibrant example of how digital tools and innovative pedagogy can come together to create meaningful learning experiences for young minds.

The day was designed to be interactive and age-appropriate, with students rotating through a series of digital learning stations powered by H5P activities. These included:

Drag and drop challenges: Students matched natural phenomena with human-made inventions inspired by them, such as Velcro and burrs or bullet trains and kingfisher beaks.

Choose the image: Students selected images that best represented biomimicry solutions to real-world problems.

True or false quizzes: These helped reinforce key concepts about how nature solves challenges and how humans can learn from it.

Find the hotspot: Students explored detailed images of animals and plants, identifying features that have inspired technological innovations.

Memory games: These paired natural elements with their biomimetic counterparts, reinforcing learning through play.
