Through Unseen, students are invited to look closer at the tiny creatures that shape our world. Through hands-on exploration and creative design, students will investigate the role of insects in ecosystems, identify key body parts and their functions, and explore how humans and bugs impact one another. Inspired by scientific illustrator Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, students will draw and build their own proportional bug model using the principles of design—spotlighting the vital role insects play in sustaining life on Earth.
