Fifteen high school students from La Briquerie left for a seven-day trip to Romania, a linguistic and technical stay combining visits, culture and exchanges of methods and practices related to robotics.

On site, joined by their Austrian counterparts, the Thionvillois will find Romanian high school students, also passionate about robotics.
