The Seed Olympics

{"title":"The Seed Olympics","description":"\u003Cp\u003EThis interactive event explores seed dispersal strategies through playful competitions that mimic natural mechanisms. Participants examine how wind, animals, and gravity shape seed spread and survival, comparing adaptations such as aerodynamic structures, adhesive coatings, and mass traits. The Seed Olympics frames aerial acrobatics, gravity marathons and adhesive \u0022darts\u0022 as experimental scenarios to investigate ecological functions, evolutionary trade-offs and seed fitness, revealing how dispersal influences plant distribution and community dynamics.\u003C\/p\u003E","start_date":"2026-10-21","end_date":"2026-10-23","date":"21 - 23 October","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20261021T110000Z","timing_end_date":"20261021T150000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20261023T110000Z","timing_end_date":"20261023T150000Z"}]}
