Participants assemble their own drones
Children and young people aged 12 to 18 attending TEKNOFEST Southeast in Şanlıurfa are building their own drone models. Participants gain basic flight experience by operating the vehicles they assemble on simulators.
The training, organized as part of the T3 Foundation’s Bilim Türkiye project, teaches participants the basics of drone technology. Students put the components together, attach the propellers and batteries, and then test the vehicles they have assembled on simulators.
Free training and simulator experience
İbrahim Halil Çetindağ, a T3 Foundation volunteer, said the training was free. Çetindağ said many participants had never seen or used a drone before, adding that they taught students the basics, introduced all the components and provided them with piloting experience through simulators.
Participants receive drone pilot badges at the end of the program.
