The Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs) are local celebrations of the inventive, collaborative, and practical spirit of education. During the festivals, children, young people, their families, educators, and the school community have the opportunity to explore materials and technologies, participate in activities, and experience stimulating, interesting, meaningful, and practical learning. FICs are organized by volunteers from all over the country and take place in the most different spaces, always having the "Interactive Showcase" as the main activity.

The Interactive Showcase is at the heart of FIC. It is a practical showcase where students and teachers can have a first contact with tools, techniques, materials, and other practitioners of this educational approach. The environment with working tables and available materials favors experimentation.
