In July, I am going to the Serious Play Conference in Montréal. I will talk about “Playing at school”. I think that education can be fun and stimulating if the kids can co-design it. Continue reading “Excited to speak at Serious Play Conference this summer!”

To imagine puzzles for the new Mysterious Cartables I have to find new ideas. For example, talking with my family or searching the Internet. But what works best is to play games where there are puzzles. Continue reading “Escape Room in a library with my BFF Emy”

I would like to make FuturiX: a schoolbag of the future. I’m lucky, I was invited to STMicroelectronics in Grenoble to think about it.

At first I wanted to make an escape room in my school library to encourage children to read. But the teachers hesitated a little. And I was impatient. I wanted to move on.

I did not stop making plans in drawing or using LEGO bricks. So I started with what I had, that is to say my old schoolbag (in French a Cartable means Schoolbag), and I transformed it. Sometimes when your plan does not work, start with what you have. It seems that this happens often.
