Sébastien Wall-Lacelle graduated as a M.Sc. in physics at Université de Montréal.  After working as a research assistant, he started his career as a cégep teacher in 2011.  He quickly gained an interest in the pedagogical aspects of science which led him to assume a prominent role in the deployment of the first active classroom at Cégep de Saint-Jérôme.  He is now working on a Ph.D. in psychopedagogy in the group of Dr. Bruno Poellhuber that aims to characterize the use of virtual reality in cégep science classes.
