New! 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 March to July 2026, take your children to explore the alliance between creativity and technology—and rediscover the human–machine partnership.
These workshops are run in French.
Imagine building your own musical instrument using a banana, a bottle, recycled cardboard, cutlery, or other reclaimed materials… With digital lutherie, step into the shoes of a musician and take ownership of your instruments during a workshop combining hands-on prototyping, sound creation, and programming.
Have your children always dreamed of becoming the characters in the stories you tell them ?
Thanks to an innovative technology that transforms gestures and movements into sounds, take part in storytelling by creating soundscapes through body movement. During this workshop, families share a playful, interactive, and collective experience focused on listening, imagination, and body awareness. Discover together a new way of telling and passing on stories—and let children become the actors of the tales they hear.
