  • State aid is not a grant!
  • State aid does not mean that the district is not responsible

for payment. It means that the district is entitled to receive a reimbursement on a percentage of the program cost.

  • State aid comes to the district, not to the individual school,

the following year.

  • An administrative fee will be charged to process all
  • programs. The administrative fee is also eligible for aid.
  • DO NOT make a deposit or pay vendor directly.

Biomimicry: Inspiring and Engaging Students While Linking Science, Engineering, ELA, and the Arts

Are you looking for a way to inspire the next generation of world-builders - engineers, designers, research scientists, chemists, architects, city planners, and educators? DATE: Thursday, November 3 LOCATION: Madden Outdoor Education Center Biomimicry is a rapidly growing discipline that offers teachers a compelling way to engage students of all ages and crosses the boundaries traditionally found in education. It supports the goals of the New York State Science Learning Standards, the Common Core Learning Standards, and STEAM, and offers solution-based thinking while inspiring young people with a sense of the possible. It links design (arts) and science, and offers a model of relevancy because it will be part of many of the jobs of the future. Biomimicry also provides a plethora of literature for linking ELA to science and the Reading Standards for Literature. Over the course of the workshop, participants will explore:

  • How we view nature
  • Biomimicry vs. Bio-inspired Design
  • Principles of Biomimicry
  • Case studies
  • A design challenge
  • Resources
  • Biomimicry today

We will also do a walk-though of the Biomimicry Institute's Educators Tool Kit and their website, ASKNATURE, as well as Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES' Biomimicry Kit.

"Across the country and around the world, growing numbers of educators are using the environment as a focal point for teaching... Across disciplines, teachers find that students are engaged in learning, feel challenged, and often perform better in school when they are studying their local environment."
