Targeted Activities for the School Audience

The Lab’Urba collaborates with L’Arbre des connaissances and its “apprentice researchers” program by hosting and supporting middle and high school students in a research project.

In addition to interventions in middle and high schools, members of Lab’Urba are regularly invited by organisations and events dedicated to science-society outreach aimed at school audiences.
