GrowBot's Festival

A series of online informal discussions between scientists from different biological and technical backgrounds explore the fascinating world of climbing plants for developing adaptive, artificial structures. From coiling, springy tendrils to branches that move and twist about, searching and then grabbing onto supports.

There is nothing like seeing these plants alive and climbing for making new exciting links between biology and technology!
