David Sherman of Pleiade coached two teams in Thymio R2T2 Challenges (Remote Rescue Thymio II https://www.thymio.org/en:thymio-r2t2), organized by the Mobsya association and the EPFL in Spring and in Summer 2017. An R2T2 challenge brings together 16 teams (for the Mars mission, 4 teams for the Lunar mission) of children who must cooperate to remotely program Thymio robots. The Lunar mission in July was a public demonstration during the Scratch 2017 conference in Bordeaux.
