These competitions aim to foster students’ interest in scientific experimentation by encouraging them to approach problems with a researcher’s mindset, thereby stimulating their initiative. The objectives of these events are multifaceted:
=> To introduce and raise awareness among middle and high school students about the scientific method, thereby addressing the issue of young people’s disengagement from science studies,
=> To foster a spirit of discovery among adolescents, in the spirit of the “La main à la pâte” initiative,
=> To contribute to universities’ mission of promoting Scientific, Technological, and Industrial Culture (CSTI),
=> Strengthen ties between universities and schools.
