Students receiving training at the MERCAN 100th Year Climate and Environmental Science Center of Mersin Metropolitan Municipality have added another achievement to their growing success in robotics and technology. Competing in the Elementary School LEGO Line category of the MaestRobot Robotics Competition & Festival, Mercan Junior Team students Cesur Ali Kaplan and Süleyman Onur Doğan achieved second place in the regional championship and third place in the Turkish National Championship held in Antalya, marking a significant accomplishment.
Mercan Students Stand Out with Their Robot Design and Coding Skills
In the competition, where robots were required to follow a black line on a white surface using sensors and complete the course as quickly and accurately as possible, Mercan students distinguished themselves through their robot design, coding, and problem-solving abilities. Their achievement in an event that brought together numerous teams from across Türkiye demonstrated their competence in technology and engineering.
They Developed a Guide Robot Prototype for the Visually Impaired
In the Entrepreneurship Robotics Technologies category of the festival, Mercan middle school students Demirkan Münker, Uras Sıvacı, and Umut Göçer presented a guide robot prototype designed to assist visually impaired individuals. Through this innovative project, which focused on using technology for social benefit, the students attracted attention and gained valuable experience in project development and presentation.
Mercan Brings Children Together with Technology and Innovation
Continuing its efforts in science and technology education, the MERCAN Science Center plays an important role in introducing children to technology production, robotics coding, and engineering skills from an early age. Through the educational initiatives implemented by Mersin Metropolitan Municipality for children and young people, students are growing into individuals who research, create, and develop technology. Their achievements in national competitions continue to make Mersin proud.
