Leonardology(ies)

Leonardo da Vinci High School

On October 3, 2025, the Léonard de Vinci vocational high school in Montpellier will host the regional opening of the Fête de la Science in Occitanie by opening its doors to a unique event designed for students from middle school through high school, centered around the flagship initiative “Léonardologie(s),” which is all about connection, sharing, and exploration.

Interactive workshops, exhibitions, discussions with scientists and artists, and a presentation of a work currently in progress: the school’s students and faculty are fully committed to offering a rich and inspiring program that blends science and the arts.

But the event doesn’t stop at the school’s walls. The University of Montpellier is organizing an artistic and scientific walking tour through the Mosson neighborhood for students from Léonard de Vinci High School and Escholiers de la Mosson Middle School: residents, students, and passersby are welcome to join in, with the aim of bringing science to life right in the heart of the community. A work in motion, a neighborhood coming alive, and knowledge in circulation: a highlight of civic engagement and shared creativity.
