"I wanted to get involved again and help Robo'Lyon in its efforts because this association has given me a lot. Creating teams allows me to take on management responsibilities and also to pass on my knowledge to high school students. Finally, I think it is important that the values of FIRST are spread in France."
"The development of new teams in France is based on meetings with schools. That's why we do not hesitate to travel, meet teams and invite all the students and adults who wish to advance in the project to visit our premises"
