ROBO Youth Exchange

Students of the School of Electrical and Telecommunications Technology from Constanta took part in an youth exchange organised throughout the Strategic Partnership ROBO, which brings innovation and modern technologies in education with help from partners:  Fundacja „Z Robotem za Rękę” („With a Robot by the Hand” Foundation) – Poland, ERS YURTDISI VE YURTICI EGITIM DAN YAZ MUH TUR DIS TIC LTD STI (ERS Student Services) – Turkey, Asociatia TEAM4Excellence – Romania.

The Youth Exchange took place in Adana, where in the first days the students had the opportunity to descover the surroundings, the history of Turkey, and also the regional cuisine. The following days marked the time for exchange of informations and experiences based on robots and their designs.

Day 3 of the exchange was all about promotion, advertising and branding. The students learned how to promote the robot Barbara, how to get an investor, how to produce and sell a robot.

“In the first 3 days of the workshop we were presented the Turkish team robot, a team with a lot of potential. The robot was built with the aim to retrieve balls at the FTC competition. But without programming and a lot of patience nothing could be done. With help from Meyra, a Turkish team member we could understand everything, what programming had to do with it, so her presentation opened everyone’s minds and we had a little debate between the teams’ ideas to give a performance of the robot.” says Aurelian, a member of the Romanian team.

 

The next days were all about discovering more of the beautiful things Turkey has to offer.
