At Plateau créatif, maker spirit and digital culture come together to create a unique learning environment. It also fosters the appropriation of new digital tools, be they video games, social networks, digital creation or media education.
This space is stuffed with tools, machines and technologies adapted to young people, to enable them to make and experiment in a safe and inspiring environment. In workshops led by facilitators, they will be able to manipulate laser cutters, 3D printers, pliers, electronic cards, sewing machines, green backgrounds and many other resources.
Aimed primarily for children and teenagers, with friends or family, it is also a learning space for leisure centers and school groups from CE2 to seconde.
To achieve this, the Plateau créatif uses collaborative and creative mediation techniques, encouraging young people to experiment and learn from their mistakes.

The Plateau créatif is a space in parthenship with the associations Instant Science and Planète Sciences Occitanie.
