Around 360 young people from the Tarragona region gathered this February 28th in Reus to take part in the First Lego League, a competition blending archaeology and programming.

Organized by the Rovira i Virgili University (URV) for 15 years, the event aims to promote STEM vocations. Students worked in teams to solve scientific challenges using robotics and research.

"It is a source of pride that there are such early vocations in engineering, especially among women."
