TEDxPoitiers

Umbrella theme: eXplorer, November 2025

The event at the ISAE-ENSMA (École Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et d'Aérotechnique) combined short talks, hands‑on science & cultural workshops, exhibitions and interactive animations. TEDxPoitiers aimed to open a broad space for exploration: space, aviation, astronomy, technology, innovation, and more.

AC Coppens hosted the entire event in French and also moderated a fireside chat with Allan Petre, French aerospace engineer who, at age 24, joined NASA — making him one of the youngest French engineers ever accepted by the agency.
