Moreover, the local Makers showed all of their imagination and passion for creating and sharing: the BLIIIDA residents but also Makers coming from Metz Métropole and Lorraine. The students of ENIM (national engineering school of Metz) built robots and little cars to recreate in reality the game RocketLeague!
The carpenter Yannick Neuvillers proposed a time travel with his medieval catapult and his replica of the famous Iron Throne, seen in the TV show “Games of Thrones”.
The Ouistiti Orchestra (orchestra of electro music composed with ouistiti toys) delighted the acoustic atmosphere, and the professional of Make up SFX Lucie Schosseler created scaring make up on volunteers!
The Fab Lab local community and the teams of Leroy Merlin shops were mobilized to help young and less young public how to create their own souvenirs: rocket, chicken, key ring, deco objects, …
