PhoneBloks
Phonebloks is an open-source modular smartphone concept created and designed by the Dutch designer Dave Hakkens, primarily to reduce electronic waste.
While Phonebloks is not the first attempt at modular design in a phone, it is notable due to the extent of its modularity and the attention and support it has garnered
By attaching individual third-party components (called "bloks") to a main board, a user would create a personalized smartphone. These bloks can be replaced at will to replace a broken blok, to upgrade an existing blok, or to expand the functionality of the phone into a specific direction. Bloks would be available in Blokstore, "an app store for hardware", where users could buy new and used bloks as well as sell back their old ones.
Special Effects & Virtual Reality
Watching a special effects video or a virtual reality scene can be a mesmerising experience that brings magic to life.
Throughout our exhibition, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of this art through a series of interactive games. We will also take you on a fascinating journey that will highlight how we can use this innovative technology to save our planet.

HOW TO BE "GREEN"
The current environmental challenges are known by all of us. Everyone has heard about the COP2, governments are already talking about new measures to decrease the carbon footprint. But everyone has a different idea of what those measures should be. How does the ENSEEIHT deal with it ?
The BDD (Bureau du Développement Durable), contained in the AE, is working on initiatives to help students be more respectful of the environment. They are the ones who provide us with ecocups !
ENSEEIHT still has many plans ! "Green Team" has just been created to start as many projects as possible! AND a "plan vert" is on the way !
ENSEEIHT already does a lot for the environment And we can still do a lot more. We will talk to you about what is being done, what will be done, and what could be done! So, if you want to know how to be green at ENSEEIHT, come meet us in the entrance of Hall B, between 12 & 2 pm, Thursday 10th March.
