Gamelihle Sibanda

To close our inaugural season, engineer and biomimic Gamelihle (Gama) Sibanda takes us on a journey from his formative years in Zimbabwe to using the architectural wisdom of ants and termites to solve real-world flooding crises.

Tune in to episode 6 to explore how one can take a childhood curiosity of observing insects and turn it into a global engineering framework, bringing together Indigenous knowledge, biomimicry, and the ethics of artificial intelligence.
