WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY In the near future, your Amazon Prime delivery could be much more environmentally friendly and robotics enthusiasts at the French-American School of New York in Larchmont might well deserve the lion's share of the credit for innovations coming someday soon to a mailbox near you.

The robotics team from the French-American School of New York (FASNY), "The Green Brick Road," is already having quite an impressive 2021-2022 season.

The team made up of Middle School students, Ahmed Fliss (class of '28), Lavinia Gayet '27, Estelle Santulin '27, Ben Street '27, Vincent Revise '26, Denis Boudaliez '26 and Justin Gingrich '26, won the top prize in the qualifying round of the FIRST Lego League Robotics Challenge in February and then went on to claim first place in the Regional Hudson Valley competition, which secured their spot at the 2022 FIRST World Robotics Championship in Houston.

In late April, "The Green Brick Road" FASNY robotics team competed amongst 108 teams from all across the globe, showcasing their talents to 35,000 attendees. After several days of competition, "The Green Brick Road" finished in the top 25 percent of all teams.

And they're not done yet.

The team was selected independently as one of the 20 finalists in the worldwide Global Innovation Award competition for their Innovation Project in which they developed an automated "dropbox" that can accept package deliveries without any protective boxes or packaging, which would save millions of trees and reduce the amount of plastic headed for landfills.

The Global Innovation Award competition will take place in St. Louis from June 21 - June 23.
