The skin covering the robot’s parts lets it stick to the metal like a gecko sticks to a tree. This is not science fiction, it is science fact, and the product of a long process of observation, study, and mimicry of the animal world.

Students will follow the stories of remarkable people working in STEM fields who have developed these life-changing technologies.
