Les boîtes CAPC
An Innovative Pedagogical Tool
Since it’s creation, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux (CAPC) has been developing a series of educational tools – “exhibit boxes” – that contain various educational material about contemporary art.
As part of the digital modernisation of these tools, we imagined and developed with the Museum a new generation of tools that contain 13 tactile tablets and a “hopscotch” fold-out board.
26 original exercises were created around the theme of colour, to be played using augmented reality on the hopscotch board.
Complete Connection
"Les boites CAPC" allows primary school teachers to organise classes and workshops about artistic practices as well as introduce work from the Museum’s collection. The box has a tablet for the teacher to setup a workshop and save pupil’s work in real-time.
The tablet runs an interactive application which tracks the workshop as well as providing complementary resources such as images and videos.
Finally, there is an internet site, www.lesboitescapc.fr where teachers can privately reserve use of a box, access pupil’s work and collect data from their workshops.
"Les boites CAPC" are available for free use by all primary schools throughout France.
