Did you start a club dedicated to paper recycling hen you were at elementary school? Do you always try to imagine how RATP could improve the journey for people with reduced mobility?

When you read about a new digital product, do you launch at the same time your tablet, your smartphone and your computer in order to try it out (and find better ways to optimize it)? Do you dream of building a probe (from recycling materials) able to trace your carbon footprint automatically? Were you involved in your school cafeteria or in a bar (and you were the one dedicated to decoration and trying to find a solution in order to optimize the waiting time for people grabbing a beer or a coffee)? Do you organize special dinners with your friends in order to run shadow “customer research”? Do you give feedbacks to Slack Support Team in order to optimize their product? Do you always plan your vacations for months, using Datavizualisation, in order to choose the right destination? Do you spend hours talking with your friend about amazing experience you had with this compant, and the crappy experience you had with this other company? Did you try to convince Siri to do bad, bad things? Have you ever dreamt about being a rock star?
