Are you eager to take the reins in designing your own projects ?
Dive into 2D design with the open source software Inkscape as a CAD tool. Inkscape features an intuitive interface and advanced capabilities to unleash your creativity.
The inkscape software training is tailored to introduce you to the essential basics of this rather powerful graphic design tool! A mix of theory and hands-on practice will empower you to bring your ideas to digital reality.
We guide you step by step through learning this tool.
This workshop will teach you to:
- Understand the software environment and philosophy
- Explore different types of tools and techniques
- Create and conceptualize
- Export 2D files for use with one of the Fablab machines
There are no necessary prerequisites.
We have equipment available for you, but for greater comfort it is strongly recommended to come with your own computer (with your mouse! And Inkscape software already download.)

During this workshop, come and learn about the plastic injection molding machine (and its shredder)
Discover the concept of circular economy, become aware of the different types of plastics and learn about manufacturing from recycled materials.
Directly inspired by the proactive international community #preciousplastic, we will guide you creating a new personalized object from plastic waste.
This workshop will teach you to:
- Become aware of different type of plastics that surround us
- Operate a plastic injection press and manufacture its shredder
- Operate the CNC milling machine for object machining
- Stay informed about the various initiatives and communities involved in waste revaluation
- Leave with your creation as a tangible object
There are no necessary prerequisites.
Taking this workshop will enable you to use this machine during Open Labs!

Arduino et son environnement de programmation (EDI en français et IDE en anglais).
An Arduino board is a small electronic card equipped with a microcontroller : a simple new way to design complex electronic systems.
The microcontroller allows you to program and control components (LEDs, servo motors, potentiometers,etc.) based on events detected by sensors.
Exemples include controlling household appliances (microwaves, oven, coffee maker,etc.) or giving “intelligence” to a robot (mine detector, large area cleaner,…).
During this introductory electronics workshop, create your first simple circuits and control them by programming the Arduino microcontroller.
This workshop will teach you to:
- understand electronic assembly
- learn the basics of Arduino programming
- Equip yourself to delve deeper into the available resource librairies
There are no necessary prerequisites.
