L’École Polytechnique de Montréal ouvre ses portes à la relève le dimanche 13 novembre prochain de 10 h à 16 h. Au programme : des démonstrations explosives, des activités scientifiques interactives et des prototypes impressionnants! Venez prendre le pouls de ce qui fait vibrer nos étudiants! Une nouveauté cette année, la nouvelle société technique PolyProject présente ses toutes premières inventions : un gant sensoriel à fibres optiques qui traduit le langage des signes et une prothèse oculaire innovatrice qui permet de faire varier la grosseur de la pupille grâce à la lumière pour un regard plus naturel. Les visiteurs auront également la chance d’immortaliser leur passage à Polytechnique en se faisant photographier près du prototype de leur choix tout en courant la chance de gagner l’une des deux bourses d’admission d’une valeur de 1000 $. Fusées expérimentales, voiture de course, véhicule tout-terrain, avion téléguidé, sous-marin à propulsion humaine… il y en a pour tous les goûts!
