Through interactive presentations and educational games, Auguste Gires from Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Abdellah Ichiba from CG94, together with the Crazy Savants, have explained how an X-band radar works and how it can reduce the risks of floods and water pollution in the city.
These workshops have been organised in the framework of "Festival Paris Montagne", an event aimed at promoting scientific knowledge among students from disadvanteg areas of Paris.
