Vivez une expérience immersive inédite : en équipe, montez à bord de Gaïactica, vaisseau spatial grandeur nature. Vous avez 60 minutes pour sauver la Terre - et l'Humanité - du dérèglement climatique.

Gaïactica propose une approche des enjeux planétaires par l'angle du serious game hautement immersif (ou "jeu sérieux" : activité qui combine une intention « sérieuse » — de type pédagogique, informative, communicationnelle — avec des ressorts ludiques).

Dérèglement climatique, contrastes entre régions du globe, atteintes à la biodiversité, pollution de l'air et des sols, accès à l'eau potable... autant d'enjeux qui méritent d'être connus de tous et qui se prêtent volontiers à une simulation de grande envergure dont chacun peut être acteur. Plus encore, l'ambition de Gaïactica est de les mettre à portée du plus grand nombre, sans barrière politique, marketing ou cognitive.
