The Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers will open its doors on October 9, 2025.
Six workshops will allow middle school students to discover the activities of a prestigious engineering school during the Fête de la Science (Science Festival).
The workshops are organized for an entire class.
Middle school students will be divided into three small groups and will each be able to attend one workshop.
Two accompanying adults (teachers or parents) should be present. The students will receive a small souvenir at the end of the tour.
Three workshops per class, depending on the schedule and choice of activities.
- Is my smartphone a friend I know well? Are you sure? Come and join us in thinking about the impact your phone has on you and on the planet (socio-environmental impacts, resources, manufacturing). Together, we will analyze the life cycle of your phone to better understand it.
- The process of making a metal piece will no longer hold any secrets for you. We invite you to discover the campus foundry workshop. Do you know how a metal medal is made? We will show you the entire process: from digital design to model creation, mold making, casting, and finishing.
- Come and discover how a treadmill speed reducer works through a 3D model. We will welcome you to our prototyping workshop, which has 3D printers for designing and manufacturing mechanical systems that meet specific specifications. You will learn all there is to know about every stage of the manufacturing process.
- The magic of materials. Come and test your strength and understand why some objects break more easily than others.
- Come and try out our new giant screen wall with us to discover how a collaborative, virtual reality environment works with your classmates!
Metal cutting will no longer hold any secrets for you. Come and discover the campus cutting workshop. Do you know how sheet metal is cut? We will show you the entire cutting process using a plasma cutting machine.
