Description

For young girls between 10 and 18 years old Industrial mechatronics workshop at CFPT – With Elargis tes Horizons March 4, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM   Machines that move, ideas that take off: discover industrial mechatronics! Supervised by the school's apprentices, you will take part in various workshops. Workshop A: Pneumatic assembly You will build a dynamic assembly that uses compressed air to activate cylinders. These installations are the same as those found in automatic bus door systems. Workshop B: Computer-aided design You will learn about industrial design and construction, then create your own piece using laser cutting or 3D printing, thanks to an introduction to computer-aided design software. Workshop C: Electronic assembly You will solder the essential components of an electronic light assembly (a LED light strip). Create, touch, make things move: technology is waiting for you!   IMPORTANT: MEETING TIME: 13H45Meeting point: In the main entrance of the building opposite the roundabout.
