On May 16, 2025, EasyMile took part in the 15th Olympiades de Sciences de l’Ingénieur — a national innovation competition for high school students — by participating in the regional final for the Toulouse academy, hosted at the Orange Campus Tolosa in Balma.
A showcase of youth innovation
This annual competition gathers over 100 students from across the region, grouped into 22 teams representing 7 different high schools. Their goal? To present forward-thinking engineering projects developed around real-world challenges. With themes such as The City of Tomorrow and Energy Transition, the competition fosters multidisciplinary, experimental, and collaborative innovation among students.
EasyMile was proud to be part of the jury panel, alongside representatives from major companies and institutions such as Airbus, Thales, Continental, Supaéro, and the Académie des Technologies.
“It’s always inspiring to see the creativity and commitment of these young talents. They tackle complex technical topics with impressive maturity.”
— Lucas, jury member and EasyMile representative
Highlighting team spirit and ingenuity
This year, EasyMile awarded the Teamwork Prize to the project CurioCity, developed by students from Lycée Stéphane Hessel. The idea behind CurioCity? A reimagined tourist information experience using artificial intelligence and facial recognition to create interactive, adaptive kiosks placed throughout cities.
Not only did the team impress with their technical design, but they also integrated sustainable solutions such as climate-conscious infrastructure and energy-saving systems like the Canadian well (puits canadien). The project was praised for its strong collaboration among team members, making it a natural choice for the teamwork distinction.
Going beyond the prize
To further encourage their interest in tech and innovation, EasyMile invited the winning team to a half-day immersive visit at the company’s site in Francazal, where they’ll explore the world of autonomous vehicles and meet with engineers and developers behind the technology.
In addition to this experience, the team also received branded goodies as a token of appreciation.
Supporting the local ecosystem
At EasyMile, supporting young talent is a core part of our mission. Our involvement in events like the Olympiades is rooted in our commitment to the Toulouse ecosystem and to the next generation of scientists and engineers. These opportunities create bridges between education and industry — and might just inspire future careers in autonomous mobility.
“Encouraging young people to pursue STEM paths and exposing them to real-world applications is essential. Events like these help plant the seed.”
— Lucas, EasyMile
We extend our congratulations to all participants and organizers for this vibrant and impactful edition of the Olympiades. The future of innovation looks bright.
