02Podcast

Avant on croyait que…

The podcast about ideas that got overturned.

Each episode starts from an idea that was long held to be true, and tells who questioned it, what was observed and how science refined the model. For curious young people and the adults who come along. In French.

08Retro games

Bianco's Games

Retro games you control with your whole body.

Commodore 64–style arcade games you play in front of your webcam: body tracking follows your moves, no controller needed. Stack burgers in Bun Rush, run and jump with a friend in Unicorn Run, bake with your hands in Capycake. The keyboard works too.
