Created in 2012 in the Institut de Recherche d'Astrophysique et de Planétologie (IRAP) based in Toulouse, UniverSCiel is a French non-profit association regrouping young astronomers (most are PhD. students) volunteering on their free time to organize and to animate outreach events promoting astronomy and astrophysics for youth. The main focus of the association is the coorganization of the Astro-Jeunes festival. More recently, the association started to cover a wider spectrum of activities and to organize countless other events, such as day-long intervention in school and medical institutes or sky-wacthing sessions. All the activities of the association and especially its handmade experiments will be describe.
