Luxembourg Tech School students gain access to LuxProvide AI infrastructure

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The Luxembourg Tech School team is excited to announce a new partnership with our first AI-focused sponsor, LuxProvide. LuxProvide operates MeluXina, EuroHPC’s supercomputer based in Luxembourg.

Through this collaboration, LTS will gain access to LuxProvide’s Model as a Service platform. Instead of running AI models locally, users can access them on advanced infrastructure through the platform to experiment with AI and build new applications.

LuxProvide will contribute by supporting the AI Everywhere module for LTS Level 1 students. In this module, students work in teams to develop their own AI-based projects. Thanks to this partnership, students will be able to experiment with AI using the same infrastructure that is accessible in professional environments.

In addition, LTS researchers will receive access to MeluXina in order to train AI models and run experiments.

While the focus of the partnership is on the AI Everywhere module, the collaboration may also support other LTS initiatives in the coming years.

10 Years of LTS! Founder Dr. Sergio Coronado Talks About How It All Started

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Luxembourg Tech School (LTS) was founded 10 years ago, when Dr. Sergio Coronado, Ralph Marschall, Anush Manukyan and Christophe Trefois shared an ambitious vision: to give young students in Luxembourg the opportunity to discover technology by experimenting and creating their own tech projects.

In a special episode of The Lisa Burke Show, LTS Founder Dr. Sergio Coronado reflects on what inspired the creation of LTS and how his own experiences shaped the learning-by-doing approach that defines its programs.

*“What we do at Luxembourg Tech School comes down to a few key principles.
First, we give students broad exposure. We focus on technology, but across different domains: robotics, space, brain-computer interfaces, coding, AI, game development, financial technology. The goal is to let them discover what interests them and understand the range of opportunities that exist within tech.

Second, everything we do is about building. Instead of learning and then taking an exam, students create, build, and then demonstrate what they’ve made. For example, in GameDev they build their own video games. In FinTech, they develop applications. In Space Resources, they work on real projects connected to space initiatives.

Another important element is bringing them close to real professional tools and environments. We’re not trying to turn them into engineers in one and a half hours per week — that’s not the goal. We provide exposure to how the industry actually works. It’s a two-sided story: students get to experience the professional world, and the industry gets to see that young people are ready for the challenge.”*

All LTS programs are entirely free for students, made possible thanks to the support of ministries, institutions, and companies. LTS continues to welcome new partnerships that help reach even more young people across Luxembourg.

GameDev as a Gateway to Tech Education: The 10th LTS GameDev Pitch Competition

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The GameDev Competition is the first major event for LTS students. Over the course of 12 weeks, they work in teams to create their own video games. Every January for the past 10 years, LTS Level 1 students have stepped onto the stage to present a playable game to an expert jury. This year’s jury included Jacopo Armani, Gideon Gießelmann, Harry Ford, Jérôme Labbé, Matthieu Bracchetti, and Wesley Deglise.

GameDev was the first and core module of the LTS program designed 10 years ago by the LTS Founders. It remains the perfect playground for hands-on tech learning. Building a game gets quite technical, but it’s also fun and gives students a tangible result. After creating their own games, students gain the confidence to explore other technology fields.

As presentation day approaches, teams face a familiar challenge: last-minute bugs, unexpected issues, and the need for strong collaboration. According to LTS Coaches, good teamwork is built through clear communication and consistent effort throughout the weeks leading up to the final pitch.

The games presented featured a wide range of creative ideas and genres, from a sci-fi horror game set on the Moon, to a fast-paced cooking game, a yo-yo-wielding vampire, a shadow escaping a cave by avoiding light, and a shopping-cart drifting game.

The event was co-hosted by Lisa Burke and LTS Founder Dr. Sergio Coronado. We were joined by Playtiles, who supported this edition, alongside videogames.lu and the Luxembourg Video Game Association.

Students in Luxembourg explore science, maths, and technology at Mobile Newton Room

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Luxembourg Tech School (LTS) has been collaborating with Boeing, FIRST Scandinavia and Luxair to bring the Mobile Newton Room (MNR) to Luxembourg. The MNR is a mobile classroom designed to inspire young students to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics through a realistic rescue scenario that involves flying a plane.

Approximately 400 students between the ages of 13 and 16 will take part in the Up in the Air with Numbers module. Working in small teams, they calculate a flight plan for a rescue mission and then experience piloting through this mission using advanced simulators inspired by real aircraft cockpits.

In addition to guiding students in LTS programs carried out in schools across Luxembourg, LTS Coaches will also act as Newton Teachers and Newton Flight Simulator Instructors. They guide each group of students through their five-hour-long lessons at the MNR. As with all LTS programs, this educational initiative is offered free of charge.

To mark the opening, LTS Founder Sergio Coronado was joined by Yuriko Backes, Minister for Mobility and Public Works; Per-Arild Konradsen, Founder & CEO of FIRST Scandinavia; Dr. Michael Haidinger from Boeing; Gilles Feith, CEO of Luxair; and Luc Weis, Director of SCRIPT, for a first visit. The Mobile Newton Room will remain at the Geesseknäppchen campus until 13 February 2026.

The 9th Edition of the LTS FinTech Hackathon: Impressive Projects, As Always

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Young students in Luxembourg need improved access to educational programs that teach them how to manage their finances and understand the financial industry. In the FinTech module, part of LTS Level 1, students learn about app design, user experience (UX), and web security so they can prototype their own banking solutions.
The highlight of the module is the FinTech Hackathon. Organised in partnership with Fondation ABBL pour l’éducation financière and the LHoFT, it is a full weekend in which students choose ideas to develop together and transform into digital solution demos.

On the final day of the hackathon, each team presents their prototype to an expert jury. This year’s jury included Daniela Ragni (André Losch Fondation); Alex Panican (The LHoFT); Jessica Thyrion (ABBL); Hélène Lange (ABBL); and Claude Marx (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier – CSSF). We were extremely pleased to have them on board.

Before the pitch competition, students received mentoring support from Ali L., Antonio De Sensi and Marco Busoni (Amazon); Julien Jenoudet (BoardiGO); Jean-Richard Audin (Edmond de Rothschild); Frederic Valentin (Société Générale Private Banking); Veronika Vinogradova (PhD, University of Luxembourg); Wasim Baig (Lycée Michel Lucius); and Christina Agudo (CFA).
Luxembourg’s Minister of Finance, Gilles Roth, also joined the event and awarded prizes to the winning teams, along with certificates to all students who completed their LTS program.

Here is an overview of the winning teams and the main features of their projects:

“Harvest” – Third place:
A saving and investing app. Each amount you spend is rounded up, and the difference is automatically set aside to be saved or invested.
“Future You” – Second place:
An AI-powered personal retirement forecasting app. It estimates the amount you’ll need to cover the gap between your desired early retirement age and the official pension age. It also calculates the shortfall between your expected pension and desired income. Using these two numbers, the app determines the total amount you need to save and how much to set aside each month until retirement.
“LockIn” – First place:
A smart budgeting app that locks your money until you reach specific personal goals, such as spending three hours learning a new language. A buddy system ensures accountability: a friend must verify that the goal was truly completed.
“Step by Step” – Special prize:
A wishlist-based budgeting app that unlocks wishlist items only when the user’s budget allows it. The demo included a feature estimating how long an item would be postponed if the user decided to spend money elsewhere instead.

The FinTech module continues to be a key gateway for students in Luxembourg to learn about the financial sector and to become active contributors to solutions that address real-world issues. We are excited to broaden opportunities for young students to discover fintech and to support them in developing inventive ideas from an early age.

LTS Students Create Digital Brain Experience

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

LTS students have developed an intriguing immersive experience that challenges the public audience to explore what it means to be human in an age of thinking machines.

Digital Brain transports visitors to the year 2045, where brain-computer interfaces have evolved from experimental medical devices to essential tools that shape how people work, remember, and even dream. The 15-minute narrated journey combines real neurotechnology with fictional storytelling, featuring live EEG brain monitoring and AI-powered interactive challenges.

“We wanted to move beyond the typical ‘robots taking over’ narrative,” explains the student development team. “Instead, we created an experience that lets people explore the ethical questions we’ll actually face as neurotechnology advances through a fictional story and interactive elements.”

Participants begin by following a narrator into the year 2045, where they enter a Cerebral Advancement project as volunteers and wear an EEG headband that captures their real-time brainwave patterns. The system transforms this neural data into personalised visualisations and musical compositions, creating unique “neural artifacts.” The experience reaches its climax when participants find their consciousness “trapped” in a simulation, requiring them to prove their humanity to an AI system through a series of personalised riddles and challenges.

Drawing inspiration from famous science-fiction films like The Matrix and Minority Report, as well as current research and design practices, the project represents a fascinating blend of science fiction and emerging science fact.

The Digital Brain experience premiered during the LTS Fintech Hackathon at the beginning of July 2025. It will be presented at other occasions later in the year, continuing Luxembourg Tech School’s mission to help students and the public engage thoughtfully with transformative technologies.

The Digital Brain project is supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR).

LTS Students Present Their AI Projects at Luxair

Sat, 26 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The room felt like an airport before take-off: a bit of nervous energy, and the sense that something important was about to begin. At Luxair’s headquarters, students presented the AI-powered travel solutions they had spent weeks building.

From apps that suggest destinations based on the user’s music taste to tools that help people rediscover cities like Luxembourg, most teams thought of apps suitable for curious and adventurous travellers. Each of the teams built a working prototype by using Python and Streamlit. Each team integrated an LLM in a novel manner to power their apps and create new and interested services.

At the final event, students showcased their work and received prizes for the most creative and well-developed ideas. Most students went home with a prize, a smile, and the satisfaction of having come up with an idea that can make travelling more interesting–and more than that, they also built their own prototypes.

From the Edge of the Atmosphere to the Surface of the Moon: A Special Visit to LunaLab

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

After launching a weather balloon into the stratosphere, students from the LTS Space Resources module also experienced what it’s like to walk on the moon. They visited the LunaLab at the University of Luxembourg. The lab is filled with 20,000 kilograms of special gravel that is meant to resemble Moon rock. It’s one of the few places in the world where researchers and students can test space robots and systems that might one day be used in real lunar missions.

Prof. Dr. Miguel Olivares-Mendez, Head of SpaceR group, LunaLab and Zero-G Lab at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), showed students the facilities that can allow them to continue learning about space right here in Luxembourg. Experiences like this give students a glimpse into paths they might not have considered before. The activities within the LTS Space Resources module are meant to spark their curiosity and make them aware of the great things they can achieve. With many space companies based in Luxembourg, it’s important to support students as they take their first steps toward careers in space and planetary science.
