Recap of the 19th EURÊKA! Festival: Digital Spring Propels 'The Scientific Momentum'

A Resounding Success with the Public

This edition was marked by exceptional enthusiasm. Over the three days of the event, our team had the privilege of welcoming and interacting with nearly 1,000 participants across our various activities. This high participation rate demonstrates the growing interest of young people and families in digital experiences.

A Digital Café Focused on Artificial Intelligence and Sport

Located in the Innovation Zone, our Digital Café was a great success with both children and adults. Through a series of interactive and fun activities, our team was able to popularize and showcase the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the sports field.

Festival-goers were notably able to test:

• The posture analysis application: a real-time experience allowing participants to evaluate the quality of their squats thanks to AI-assisted movement recognition.
• The interactive AI quiz: a dynamic exchange to explore current and future uses of artificial intelligence in sports, in connection with our AI & You program.

Doxy the Star Robot on the Field

On June 5 and 6, our technological companion Doxy, the robot dog, went to meet families and curious visitors by circulating directly on the festival site. His encounter with the dog Azur (in collaboration with Sports Canins attelés Québec) also offered the public a unique moment, while opening up discussion on the potential of robotics and AI in our daily lives.

A Mission Accomplished

This participation is fully in line with Digital Spring’s mission to raise awareness among the next generation about tomorrow’s tools and to stimulate digital literacy. We extend our warmest thanks to the many festival-goers who came to interact with us, as well as to the entire on-site team for their energy and dedication throughout these three days.

See you next year for a new dose of discovery and innovation!
