Bumblebot: Engineering a Pollination Solution

Students will model photosynthesis and energy transfer, examine human influence on pollinators, and learn bee behavior in order to understand why pollination is important to ecology and food production.  Through the design process, using biomimicry and 3D printers, students will produce a robot that mimics a honey bee transferring pollen while taking nectar from a flower back to the hive.
