This event was initiated in 2010 by IRISA. The idea is to offer a scientific and festive immersion in the research and new technologies of the music of neurosciences and sounds to the general public. Free workshops, conferences, demonstrations and concerts are available to all throughout the day (for more detail see https://jsm.irisa.fr/). Claire Cury organized the event this year with Nancy Bertin, PANAMA team.

"J'peux pas j'ai informatique"

"J'peux pas j'ai informatique" is an outreach program to welcome secondary school students for a day at Inria Rennes / IRISA and introduce them to the various facets of computer science. Camille Maumet and Pierre Maurel helped out to run the hands-on tutorials in which students could learn how a computer works without computers.
