    Informations about Ziggy

    Ziggy offers learning situations using an experiment box and an online platform.

    Ziggy and the Singing Insects is a fun and stimulating learning kit that allows young people to discover the world of sound, movement, natural sciences and technology. The kit has been created in collaboration with the "Réseau BIBLIO de l'Outaouais".

    Thanks to an animated narrative thread, young people follow Ziggy on his adventure to find a way to emit noises and music by meeting other sound insects. Young people learn by manipulating a micro:bit microcontroller, discovering micro-games and its sensors. An interactive educational course which offers musical and technological awareness for ages 6 and over, enriched with notions of natural sciences (insects, biomimicry), sensory games and associations between movement, image and sound.

    In the parallel universe of the GénieSphère™, Ziggy the cicada serenades us with sound and will not fail to stimulate your young people thanks to its interactive and tactile journey.
