We are excited to host Biomechanics Day: Animals in Motion in conjunction with the Atlanta Science Festival on March 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Biomechanics Day: Animals in Motion will be a day of learning and experiencing biomechanics of animals from around the world. This event will feature representatives from the Georgia Institute of Technology and other universities, sharing their work on biomechanics and Bio-inspired Design with Zoo Atlanta guests through live demonstrations and presentations that are sure to engage budding scientists of all ages! After the event, we hope for all attendees to be excited about biomechanics, some applications in Bio-inspired Design, and in pursuing the scientific method when thinking of biology in the classroom and beyond. This event is included with admission.
