An invitation to discover the intelligence of living things... and to awaken your own!
Each participant is assigned a role and given a small card providing access to a certain amount of information from different sources depending on the role. Build a reasoned discussion between different participants and the different points of view they represent. The debate will be monitored and supplemented by a member of the association, who will provide new information during the debate.
Explain in simple terms the difference between a response generated by a human and one generated by Artificial Intelligence.
Ask what differentiates us as humans from other animals in terms of our brains. Compare the size, number of cells, functions, etc. of the human brain with those of ants, bees, and termites. Then ask a student to do the T-test. When they are ready, show the video of the test and define the hive mind. Then move on to the different methods of communication used by ants, bees, and termites, comparing them to human behavior to show the differences and similarities. Ask the group to define intelligence based on this. Make it clear that intelligence is defined from an anthropocentric perspective.
Board games will be available for the public to play. Volunteers will be on hand to run the games tables and advise participants.
Students from Sorbonne University offer short presentations on scientific concepts related to their studies, using games as examples to make them accessible to a wider audience.

The year is 2069, and the world is once again in lockdown! An unknown pathogen is responsible for a new pandemic.
Fortunately, a team of researchers at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital has developed a vaccine. But they were all infected before they could make their discovery public.
It's up to you to take up the torch.
No one knows where the vaccine is. But before they left the laboratory, the team left behind a trail of clues that could help insiders identify the right formula.
You are the last uninfected people in town. All hope rests on you. Your class is divided into 5 teams, each working independently. You've got to work fast. You've got 1.5 hours before the ventilation starts up again and the microbe enters the room to infect you!
You have to identify the microbe, find the right vaccine formula and prove its effectiveness. To solve the final riddle, the five teams must work together like fingers on a hand to identify the bottle containing the correct vaccine.
Only by succeeding in these missions will you be able to leave the laboratory vaccinated and protect the whole world.
