About

The bridge between today & what's next.

“Futur proche” is the French grammatical tense for the near future — things that are about to happen. Our name is a bet: that the technology now reshaping every profession won't wait for everyone to catch up. So we built a school for catching up.

We're educators, designers, and engineers who teach from practice, not theory. Every workshop is built backwards from a real outcome a learner should be able to do by the end. No certificates of attendance — we'd rather you leave with something you actually use.

01 —What we believe

Our principles

01

Hands beat slides

Every session ends with something built. We measure ourselves on what learners can do, not what they were told.

02

Honest about limits

These tools are powerful and flawed. We teach the failure modes as carefully as the wins.

03

Plain language

No jargon, no hype, no hand-waving. If we use a term, we define it.

04

Everyday relevance

Curriculum tied to real jobs, real homes, real questions — not vague futures.

02 —The studio

Taught by practitioners.
