Turing Sunflowers


You may be aware that the Museum of Science Industry in Manchester and the Manchester Science Festival are running what they are calling ‘the experiment of the year’ aimed at encouraging schools, community groups and workplaces to grow sunflowers and then explore the mathematical questions that Turing grappled with as part of his work on patterns and coding. See:
for more information.
The website offers growing tips, but is also going to create an online community for those engaged with the project. We thought you might be interested in case this was an opportunity for your local school or group.
