Team:Toulouse/Communication

"Good words are worth much, and cost little."

Press

As our project was very regional, a lot of different regional newspapers were interested into it.
After the first articles, other newspapers have begun to be interested into our work. It helped us to have a better visibility.
We have listed all the articles :

	To finish, the radio France Inter interviewed us in our lab.
