Past activities

Les cordées de la réussite

The "cordées de la réussite" are local initiatives for high school students that aim at introducing them to the university academic world. It takes the shape of guided projects by phd students, at the end of which they produce a poster to summarize their work. A jury grants an award to the best groups. I guided 5 groups on topics I designed, of which 3 won an 1st or 2nd price award. This represents a hundred hours with 16 high schools student.

Vulgarization of science

Tell your story with Scratch! (2h), 2016. During my PhD, I was hired by the university of Brest as project manager of the high-schools/universities continuum initiative. During one year, I managed different projects and organized communication events for high school students, aiming at explaining and popularizing higher education and studies. Notably, I visited high schools, made presentations to visting international students (GB, Vietnam) and organized 1-day visits for students to discover the university (including presentations by researchers and science initiation workshops).
Jury member of Practice science 2016, 2016. I was a jury member of the scientific contest Practice science 2016 for children (from 6 to 14 years old).
