Creative Workshop: Make Your Volcano w/ Patrice Huet

Guided by Patrice Huet, Scientific Director of La Cité des Volcans (Reunion Island), children will be transported into the fascinating world of volcanoes! They’ll observe local volcanic rocks, then build their very own volcano to simulate eruptions.

Patrice Huet has been fascinated by Earth and Space Science from an early age. He grew up in Reunion island, with his head in the stars and his feet on the slopes of the Piton de la Fournaise – one of the world’s most active volcanoes. He completed his university studies in La Réunion, Clermont-Ferrand, and Paris, where he specialised in Geology, Volcanology, and Computer Science. For almost 15 years, he has been the Scientific Director of La Cité des Volcans, a museum of Volcanology in Reunion Island. His job is to popularise geological knowledge and, more broadly, Earth and Space Science, all while promoting the development of new technologies for all.
