[English] Pangloss Project Party : des idées plein la tête !

[English] Un mois après l'inauguration du site d'innovation et de créativité à Ferney-Voltaire, et à l'occasion de notre première Project Party, les entrepreneurs membres de l'association Pangloss ont accueilli un nombreux public pour leur montrer la variété et la sophistication des quelques 50 projets, qui sortent des différents laboratoires d'innovation ouverte. Cet évènement s'est déroulé en présence notamment de Mr Etienne Blanc, député maire de Divonne-les-Bains, venu nous voir en tout début d'évènement, en présence de Mme Aurélie Charillon, maire de Prevessin-Moens, en présence de Monsieur Guy Larmanjat, de Madame Myriam Bouvet-Multon, représentants le département de l'Ain, et venus en voisins et amis. Situé à 25 minutes en bus de l'hyper centre de Genève, ce nouvel espace d'innovation permet aux entrepreneurs et aux hobbyists de s'exprimer, de s'identifier, de s'apprivoiser et de se retrouver régulièrement pour développer des projets collaboratifs à plusieurs. Une occasion idéale pour les élus du territoire du Grand Genève, de venir soutenir les entrepreneurs et découvrir leurs projets, leurs idées et leurs inventions. Cette soirée a également été une opportunité pour les entrepreneurs et les porteurs de projet en herbe, de 5 à 115 ans, qui souhaitent se lancer, tester leur idée, ou devenir autonome, de se rendre compte de l'importance de rejoindre un collectif, et de resentir par eux mêmes, la dynamique de création et de créativité, qui anime Pangloss.

Parmi les bonnes surprises de la soirée, la présence d'un compost mis à disposition par notre partenaire Sidefage, et la démo produit d'un robot téléprésence. Ont particulièrement retenu l'attention du public (environ 130 personnes), les stands du développement durable, de la permaculture, de l'urbanisme, de l'internet des objets, des médias, des jeux, de la mécatronique, de la culture et de l'éducation, du design et de l'art, et de la fabrication (notamment les imprimantes et scanners 3D). L'association poursuit ses évènements réguliers, et renouvellera cette opération au début de l'année 2016 pour montrer l'évolution de ses différents projets. Autre découverte, la possibilité de voir s'imprimer des objets conçus en 3D et la possibilité de voir scannés des visages ou des surfaces complexes pendant l'évènement.

Team Building Activity at Prevessin

Pangloss Team Building
Pangloss Team Building last 12 Jan 2015
Last 12 January 2015, Pangloss members Yves, Paul, Ayse, Carmz, Denis and Charlie had a team building activity at Prevessin. The event was led by rockstar coaches, Denise and Michelle, from Allegory House. The event started off with a sharing of experiences and followed by feedback from our peers. Our personalities were also analyzed and we found out how to best value each other's capacities to help build the organization better. This was followed by pitch creation and synthesis of the whole activity. It was a memorable and enriching moment for everyone.

Pangloss Labs Open Apéro

ST-GENIS-POUILLY - The first Pangloss labs public event was held at Charlys' Pub in St-Genis-Pouilly last 14 November 2014. It was attended by friends and colleagues of the Pangloss founders to get to know the new association. Pangloss President Yves Zieba welcomed everyone with a spirited speech. Everyone toasted for a wonderful start of this budding association. Founding members and creative makers Ayse Ozturk, Paul Bristow and Carmz Rubio-Torset brought some samples of their creations. Ayse made a robot that could draw perfect circles and has motion detectors; Paul brought some of his cute 3D made products; and Carmz made some cards and 3D objects out of cardstock. It was a social night filled with enthusiastic entrepreneurs and sharing of ideas. Future Pangloss labs open apéro will be held soon, so keep posted! If you wish to take part in the next Pangloss event, please check out our Events Page by clicking here.
