Lauren Ramanantsoa, a Master of Science & Technology student at École Polytechnique specialising in artificial intelligence and computer vision, developed a passion for science – and mathematics in particular – at a very early age. This interest has fuelled her creativity and her desire to build connections between students from different programmes at École Polytechnique (engineering, bachelor’s and master’s). This led to the creation of ‘X’s Got Talent’, an inclusive event that allows them to come together and showcase the full range of their artistic talents.
