Founded on neuroscience research from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Learning Robots launched in 2020 out of the Neuro PSI Lab at Université Paris‑Saclay. Today, over 10,000 students and 2,000 professionals have been introduced to AI through our Alpha AI tools and robots. More than 240 schools across Europe now use AlphAI to bring AI concepts to life in both classroom and corporate settings. Our base on the Saclay plateau—one of France’s premier innovation hubs—positions us at the heart of cutting-edge research and pedagogy.
Our mission is to show how artificial intelligence and neural networks work. Everyone is curious about these technologies and should be able to access them easily. From introductory activities to hands-on experimentation, from primary school through vocational training and high school programming, there are countless ways to explore and learn.
Rooted in neuroscience, artificial intelligence has much to teach us about how we ourselves learn. As students discover how AI works, they also gain insights into how their own brains truly function. By grasping these concepts, they learn to distinguish between basic programming through instructions, training and using existing models, and designing their own models.
Our approach is grounded in four core values: pedagogical innovation, collaboration, ethics, and accessibility. We strive to demystify AI, making it hands‑on and inspiring through interactive visualizations. Backed by partners like the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Université Paris‑Saclay, BPI France, and Edu’Up, we champion AI education that is not only high‑quality but also responsible—emphasizing transparency, bias awareness, and ethical usage.
With Learning Robots, younger generations become positive drivers of the AI revolution. Get ready and come explore AlphAI, our learning robot…

Interns will join the AI Educational Software Development team, focusing on creating, refining, and testing tools that teach artificial intelligence concepts through interactive robots and intuitive visualizations. This team blends expertise in AI programming, robotics integration, and educational design to build hands-on learning platforms.
Teaching Artificial Intelligence is a priority for Education as this technology has huge impacts on industry, the economy and society. But how can we empower the whole of society with a deep enough understanding of the fundamentals of AI functioning? The Learning Robots company made this possible by creating the "AlphAI" robots to teach AI fundamentals in a tangible and playful way. Students first understand the importance of data while training their robot for fun, autonomous robot races. Later, students learn through the visualization of the robots' internal "artificial neural networks" how it works and then they code their own AI in Python language. AlphAI has a very broad target market, from early education at elementary school to expert-level use in University-level and Corporate Executive Education.
The purpose of the internship is to contribute to the development of the “AlphAI” educational software. This software’s main functionalities include controlling a wide range of educational robots using AI, implementing the AI algorithms themselves (with an interface to acquire training data), and providing graphical interfaces that help students understand how these algorithms work.
We can offer a variety of internship topics depending on the student’s specific skills and background. For example, students might work on:
From June 8 to August 31, 2026 (adjustable at the discretion of the organisation)
