APOIL
Experts and enthusiasts, the members of the APOIL association come share with you their love of video games with a console collection you’re going to marvel at!
Presentation
APOIL (the "association of fun and interactive works", Association des Passionnés d’Œuvres Interactives et Ludiques in French) is a student association of the Paris-Sud university managed by video game lovers.
In addition to plan theme parties within their premises, they help young developers to make their own projects during game jams, game creating events within a limited time.
Nothing can stop the dynamic and motivated members of APOIL to propose free and fun activities to the students of their campus. Moreover, they are responsible for the largest academic video game event of France, the French Academic Video Game Championship.
They also intervene outside of their university, for instance in libraries and at conventions where they animate video game workshops.
