A 10-year-old who wants to create a robot to make the streets of Paris 'happy again' just landed a PhD-level fellowship

One letter stuck out in the stack of applications from people with well-polished resumes applying for the Paris Summer Innovation Fellowship.

Eva, a 10-year-old girl, applied to the program in the hopes of receiving mentorship so that she could build a special kind of robot: one to make the streets of Paris "happy again."

"The streets of Paris are sad. I want to build a robot that will make them happy again," a summary of her application posted to Facebook read. "I've already starting learning how to code on Thymio robots, but I have trouble making it work. I want to join the program so the mentors can help me."

Inspired by Eva's ambition, Kat Borlongan, a founding partner of the organization hosting the fellowship, wrote her a response via an open post on Facebook.

Here's her perfect response to Eva:

And, by the looks of the Facebook comments to follow, Eva's father did get ahold Borlongan:

Eva already started learning how to code and working with her own robot, you can see the blog she keeps here.
