Visiting Usine.io

New school

Interviews with tourists in Paris offer a range of responses to questions about technology and society, as captured by reporters Marta Fonseca, Matteo Rossi-Ganzer and Virginia Garat in this video.

Station F of ASP
A field trip to the middle school on campus revealed a makerspace in the making with 3-D printers, a laser-cutting machine and a vision that includes students creating and building their ideas for the future. Valentine Feau’s Station F of ASP on VSCO captured the scene.
Humans of Startup City
