The competition allows young people to improve their teamwork, creative problem-solving, and engineering skills.

Visit to the Provincial Director of National Education

In the wake of their achievements, the students of the ROBOTAV Team, along with their advisor teachers and school administrators, visited Mustafa Yılmaz, the Provincial Director of National Education in Kütahya. During the visit, Yılmaz had a warm conversation with the students, emphasizing the importance of technology by stating, “We are in the age of technology. It is of great importance for us to improve ourselves in this field for the future of our country. Countries like South Korea can have a say in the world economy by focusing on technology. Young people like you are the strongest representatives of this vision.”

Yılmaz reminded the students of the importance of national and spiritual values and said, “Preserve your values along with technology. A good engineer should also be a good person.” The ROBOTAV Team is proud to represent Turkey on the international stage and continues to prepare intensively for their future successes.
