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.
Imagine making your own musical instrument from a banana, a bottle, recycled cardboard, cutlery, or other salvaged materials... With digital instrument making, step into the shoes of a musician and make these instruments your own during a workshop combining 3D prototyping, sound creation, and programming.
Composing music to heighten suspense in film, giving character to a video game figure, creating the sounds of a dishwasher or an electric car, helping visually impaired people find their way: sound design is everywhere! In this workshop, learn to listen to, define, and describe the sounds around us, and bring them to life using a music-creation learning app.
Digital workshops are also held at La Seine Musicale throughout the season, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting on September 19, 2026.
