Cedric Price, British architect

Visiting Station F

Solar-powered bikes, plastic-gobbling ships and schools without teachers were some of the ideas our reporting team encountered at the ChangeNOW summit on Sept. 30. Read their report. Video by Liam Hoy and McKayla Wehrli.

Visiting Usine.io

Accelerators, incubators, microventures and makerspaces — what do these terms mean and how do they help us understand the process of innovation? Louis Gramond and Valentine Feau define and describe a trip to Usine.io, an accelerator/makerspace in Paris.

Waste not, want more

If there’s one thing humans can make, it’s garbage. Not surprisingly, several Station F projects aim to scoop, recycle and even transform trash at sea. In their infographic and story, reporters Aelys Trouve, Lily Hallenbeck and Pien Counen show and tell how.

New school

No teachers, no calendar and no curriculum — can you really call Ecole 42 a school? Kosta Lovato and Victor Sampaio survey students for answers in their video.

Street views

Interviews with tourists in Paris offer a range of responses to questions about technology and society, as captured by reporters Marta Fonseca, Matteo Rossi-Ganzer and Virginia Garat in this video.

See the future

What happens when a company’s vision is actually … vision? The PANDA headset uses augmented reality and audio to create a seeing world for those who can’t see. Reporters Patsy Fetzer and Melanie Hassoum take a look.

Station F of ASP

A field trip to the middle school on campus revealed a makerspace in the making with 3-D printers, a laser-cutting machine and a vision that includes students creating and building their ideas for the future. Valentine Feau’s Station F of ASP on VSCO captured the scene.

Humans of Startup City

Who, what, when, where, why: you can go a long way in journalism just by asking those questions. Our humansofstartupcity on Instagram captured answers during a reporting trip to the ChangeNOW summit at Station F on Sept. 30.

Grandeur/emptiness

A photo gallery by Neil Francis shows the emptiness, the promise and the potential of a place that is hoping to become the next big thing in design and innovation, Paris’ Station F.
