For many people, and even more so for high school students, the question of career choice is not a simple one, as they feel they have made a definitive choice that cannot be changed. A misconception that often persists among them. How can we better guide these teenagers? Dr. Emeric Lebreton founded Orient'Action, a service offering skills and career guidance assessments that go beyond conventional approaches.
For him, the idea is to find out what really interests the young person - a part often omitted from the huge Parcoursup structure, which focuses solely on grades. The teenager's social environment is also taken into account in the process. Is there parental pressure to go in a certain direction? How can they share their true field of interest, which may run counter to their parents' or siblings' educational path? The guidance service therefore works with the young person to not only find his or her path, but to be able to defend it because it corresponds to his or her real desires and values.
It's an approach that school counselling should perhaps take more to unearth the passions and strengths of each student, rather than simply pushing streams based on grades obtained in class.

Climate cooling - A surprising passive technology to the rescue
In his "Foundation" trilogy, Isaac Asimov describes the Kan Sector, located at the South Pole of Trantor, the Empire's capital planet. This sector is dedicated to evacuating the heat produced by the planet's 40 billion inhabitants. Let's bet we won't get to that population level, but we can be sure that evacuating the heat we produce will be an interesting challenge for our civilization.
