IRCAM is partnering with Maison Pompidou to offer engaging digital workshops for children, teenagers, and families.


The aim of these workshops is to enable younger generations to experiment with innovation and raise awareness of the major areas of scientific and technological research into sound conducted in IRCAM’s laboratories and studios. Young audiences are invited to immerse themselves in the world of music in cinema with Ciné-sons, experiment with new approaches to storytelling through CoMo-éducation, or try their hand at instrument-making with lutherie numérique.


On the second weekend of every month, from September 2026 to July 2027, take your children to explore the alliance between creativity and technology—and rediscover the human–machine partnership.

These workshops are run in French.

CoMo-education : Histoires en sons et en mouvements (création) workshop

  • Saturday, December 12, 3-5pm. Duration: 2 hours
  • Family workshop, story-creation format: ages 6–8

This workshop invites children to enjoy a playful, interactive, and collective experience that explores listening, imagination, and body awareness. Thanks to innovative technology that transforms gestures and movements into sound, your children can tell stories and become the creators of their own narratives.


Bestio-robot workshop

  • Sunday, December 13, 3-5pm. Duration: 2 hours
  • Children’s workshop: ages 8-12

This workshop invites participants to explore the world of machines that talk and get us talking. From the good old microphone to the latest technologies born of artificial intelligence, children will be invited to raise their voices and invent their very own Bestio-Robot!

Digital workshops are also held at La Seine Musicale throughout the season, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting on September 19, 2026.
