Hellos Mice Trap

Evolution and nature have always been a grand inspiration for human beings, as they already had billions of years to use trial and error for all natural challenges. This is what my class, Biomimicry, and I are trying to learn (at GCE Lab School). What we learn for this class is evolution, different laws of nature, science behind plant/animal consumption, and much more. We have also gone to certain places such as Interface and Lincoln Park Conservatory in order to understand how humans integrated plants within society.
What we have to do for this project is create an item based around a certain plant each individual chose. For myself, I chose the Nepenthes Ventricosa, a carnivorous plant that lives in the Philippines. What I tried to do was to create an animal friendly mouse trap based around the plant. What I enjoyed the most from this project would be the animation, as it took a lot of work in order to produce it. I also enjoyed researching the science behind eye sight and light. However, the struggle I had was with time while finishing the project. Still, I hope you all enjoy.

Though most people don't realize it, biomimicry has been building and will continue to build most advanced societies throughout the world. My idea is only one out of the hundreds based around the natural world that we are fortunate to have. That is why I am proud of the extra work that I put into this project and all the visual that compliment the text in many ways. I believe this idea could be possible if one were to devote resources and time into creating the actual trap. For now, I believe it will just have to be an idea of many.
