Create, print and animate insect friends. Start by imagining and modeling your own fantastic insect in 3D, inspired by real rainforest species. Then print it, paint bright colors, add textures and recycled materials to decorate its body. Place your creature into a shared vivarium that fills with color and tiny movements. Finish with a stop-motion workshop to make your insect walk and buzz on screen, learning about shape, texture and storytelling through hands-on play.

NoOPS leads this first « tech‑nostalgique » workshop, bringing a practical approach to smartphone dismantling and component recovery within the series.
