4. We are a young club of innovators born in September 2016, with currently 6 members.
The concept is simple: each week, we gather in groups to think about innovative solutions to specific problems affecting society.
At the end, each group presents its ideas to others. During these sessions, we learn about divergent thinking
and how to approach a problem from a unique angle, basically how to get “out of the box”.
We also have the chance to be located in the CEI, near the Yncubator, a startup accelerator.

WEEKLY SESSIONS
We meet for 3 hours every week to brainstorm
about specific problems affecting society, e.g.
traffic jams, pollution in Smart Cities, plastic
waste, etc.
MIDI DES INNOVATEURS
We also meet for a lunch every ~2 weeks where one
member presents a topic he has chosen : What is
Biomimicry ? Why Innovate ? How to pitch ?
It is also the occasion to talk about the internal
structure and our future projects.
CAFES NUMERIQUES
It is a new project that we just started.
Every month, we will organize these events.
It will basically be a talk given by 3 experts on a
given field related to the numeric field. All of this,
under a relax atmosphere.
CONTESTS
Our members take part in various contests such
as EBEC, Morpheus Cup, LSM Cup, etc.
And it is something we continue doing as it is a
perfect opportunity to test the skills we are
learning during our sessions.

Editor's Notes
Nom = Zaurbek
Par curiosité, combien ont déjà entendu parler de OtB ?
Et une autre question, est-ce que vous vous êtes déjà demandé :
D’où viennent les bonnes idées ?
Comment les trouver ?
Est-ce que les études nous rendent plus innovants ?
Peut-on forcer la créativité ?
Et bien, nous avons pensé à la même chose et ça nous amener à créer Outside the Box.
Outside the Box est une jeune association étudiante dont le but est de répondre à toutes ces questions. Nous voulons promouvoir le processus créatif et l’innovation appliquées à la résolution de problèmes. On a commencé en Septembre 2016.
