Also, both participants only developed one solutioneach when assigned to the method of Biomimicry, one of which was an expansion on the freebrainstorm idea with added connections to nature. Despite this, both of them in the post-workshop survey rated the increase in their creativity to be a 9, which is a strong indication thatthey felt more creative when using Biomimicry. Overall, both

This analysis may also help estimate howmany usable credits Transfer students enter with.
