Inventing tomorrow - Fête de la science 2025
Inventing tomorrow...
Laboratory tours, demonstrations, stands, prototype exhibitions, construction workshops... Through two dozen activities for all ages, the school's researchers take you on a journey of discovery of their latest innovations. Immerge yourself in research, come and test, observe and play with science!
Fabricating energy with plants, transmitting information through light, exploring the infinitely small, unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos, playing with math... So many fields and so much more to discover alongside our scientists and student engineers.

Avez-vous déjà imaginé marcher volontairement sur des billes ? Nous non plus, et c’est pour cela que nous le faisons : car la recherche permet d'explorer l'inconnu. Grâce aux colloïdes et à notre TriboNomade, venez observer et mesurer la performance en frottement de certains matériaux. Et qui sait ? Peut-être que vous découvrirez qu'il est plus efficaces de marcher sur un lit de billes que sur le sol terrestre ?
Après deux années de conception et de fabrication, la monoplace 100 % électrique de nos élèves ingénieurs a réalisé ses premiers tours de roues ! Avec 40 étudiants mobilisés et de nombreuses compétitions internationales à venir, venez découvrir la capacité d'innovation de nos élèves ingénieurs pour une mobilité durable.

Exhibition
Continuous and free access from 10am to 6pm
Engineering through practice
Our engineering students showcase their study projects!
A DIY mechanical mount to practice astrophotography like a pro? A seed library to exchange seeds and promote horticultural heritage? A Gallic 2.0 harvester to understand ancient techniques? Come and discover some of the promising and sometimes astonishing prototypes imagined and developed by our first-year engineering students.
These projects, carried out in teams and supervised by teachers, illustrate their first steps in modeling, design and project management. Through these prototypes, models and technical studies, discover the curiosity and ingenuity of our students: tomorrow's engineers.
Exhibition contents:
- PE #5: Safety cards
- PE #10AB: The grain library
- PE #22: Mount for wide-field astrophotography
- PE #25: Modular model of a lumbar spine fitted with disc prostheses
- PE #57: Gallic harvester 2.0
- PE n°1002: MINERVA engine program
