Students will visit the Denison Nature Center to observe bird behavior near windows, engage with community partners about bird collisions, and gather insights to inform their design process for safer window features.

Students will synthesize environmental forensics research findings and collaborate with the Denison Nature Center partners to define actionable problem statements that will guide their biomimicry-focused window feature designs, ensuring alignment with community wildlife safety needs.

Students will collaborate with peers, explore biomimicry and innovative design principles using materials from the Denison Nature Center, and sketch diverse window feature prototypes that minimize bird collisions while encouraging feedback from students across grade levels.

Students will collaboratively build and test prototypes of window solutions using materials inspired by biomimicry, incorporating feedback from previous design reviews and insights from local bird sanctuary experts to create effective collision-reducing features.

Students will test their window feature designs in real-world environments by installing prototypes at school and the Denison Nature Center, gather feedback from community stakeholders, and present their findings and solutions to peers and visiting experts for final evaluation and refinement.
