La Boisse students compete in international robotics contest in Canada

High school students from La Boisse, France, qualified for an international robotics competition in Edmonton, Canada, as the only French team selected. They spent ten days of activities and three days of competition from July 24 to 26. The project began three years ago under teacher Romuald Ledru, who leads the First Tech Challenge initiative. Students regularly meet outside class hours to design, build, and program robots for national and international contests. The competition emphasizes teamwork, with two school teams facing off during matches. The experience in Canada was described as memorable for the students, who met peers from around the world.
