Exploring Nature

What you'll learn
Recognize and identify natural functions and different strategies
Understand the meaning of sustainability
Raise awareness of importance being part of the nature as individuals, society and business
Get inspired to take further steps to build a more life-friendly world to benefit economically, socially and environmentally
Requirements
No requirements needed. Basic knowledge of natural sciences is an advantage to easier understand the examples.
Description
The course is meant for: Most generally, people interested in exploring nature, finding connection to it, willing to learn how nature works and willing to understand it.The course is also meant for teachers of natural sciences, willing to broaden their view on natural principles and possibilities to show them to their students.It is also for professionals, willing to learn from nature in order to implement its principles into their business to make it more sustainable.And finally, for designers and engineers, who search for inspiration in nature either to solve a technical problem or just look for an innovative ideaHere, you will learn how to observe nature in order to understand it. We will explore many different examples of natural systems, objects, organisms, etc. and learn what kind of principles nature uses generally. All this will be explained through biology, chemistry, and physics.At the end of this course, you will be able to explore nature differently – it will change the way you observed nature so far. You will be able to recognize and identify natural functions and different strategies that nature developed during evolution in order to thrive and live sustainably. Learning about general natural principles will give you awareness of importance being part of the nature as individuals, society and business. Finally, the course may inspire you to take further steps to build a more life-friendly world to benefit economically, socially and environmentally.
