Science Outreach Workshops
Through the Démesures association, I have had the opportunity to design and host a series
of interactive workshops aimed at raising awareness about cognitive biases and developing
critical thinking. These workshops, combining games, visual quizzes, and debates, were designed
to be easily accessible and set up for any audience. The primary goal is to allow everyone
to question, explore, and understand science without judgment!
These workshops are typically presented at Science Festivals or cultural conventions
(such as Japan Touch/Geek Touch). Training for facilitators takes less than an hour.
Additional resources are also available to facilitate their reuse and understanding.
Escape Game
Lab Infiltration
Students take on the role of undercover reviewers.
Their mission: verify the validity of the evidence for the discovery of the Almasty
before its publication. To untangle truth from fiction, they will need to conduct
microscopic, genetic, and computational analyses.

Mystery Images
The names, captions, and explanations of scientific images have been lost!
It's up to you to find them. You will need to be observant to determine the
scale of the photos and what they represent.

Real or Artificial?
Ten themes, two images per theme: one is real, the other is AI-generated.
Can you tell the difference?
