Who we are?

As students from 15 different cities in Turkey, we are the first student-based independent FRC team in Turkey to work to address the inequality in STEM accessibility in our country through internet-based systems throughout the year.

What we do?

Thanks to our members from different provinces, we organize robotics training in many different cities, conferences on embodying the path to STEM - FIRST - technology and dreams, mentoring to various FLL teams, and projects to increase the social activities we see as lacking in our society.And of course, we build robots! Miles in our backpacks, number 10 wrenches and our allen sets are with us not only throughout the season but all year round!

Attention: Don't forget to measure the orange you eat with a caliper!

3 Seasons 9 Awards

Chairman's Award

Excellence in Engineering Award

It is awarded to teams that form the engineering process with a professional approach. Planning, methods used, engineering skills are measured in the robot's engineering design process. With our 2021 season robot Baby Simurg, which is evaluated internationally, we are the only team from Turkey to be awarded this award.

The Innovation in Control Award

It is given to teams that design an electronic, mechanical, or software-specific and innovative control system or parts.

Team Values

What do we aim to teach the people we reach as Cymurghs and our team members?
  • ✔ Engineering Skills

    Engineering is not about discovering what exists, but about creating something new. In this sense, by combining the values of mathematics and physics with the robot construction process, we follow the training processes of our members with one-on-one weekly task cards.

  • ✔ Research

    The ability to research a specific topic is one of the most wanted talents in today's business world. In our team, we teach research process management and report writing skills with carefully prepared research tasks with the guidance of our mentors.

  • ✔ Peer to Peer Experience Transmission

    The best teacher is our friends. In our team, which constantly renews itself and has a dynamic structure, we create a friendly and permanent educational environment by keeping the age range small with our active mentors consisting of past members and university students.

  • ✔ Learning While Working

    As high school students, we generally do not have the opportunity to gain work experience without going to university. As Cymurghs, we help our members to make the right choice of profession by creating an opportunity to introduce many branches of a profession at an early age and work in this field.

  • ✔ Career Mentoring

    “Which job I wanted to do", "What am I talented at?" Many students have difficulty answering such questions. With our experienced mentors in many areas such as marketing, management, software, and engineering, we encourage our members to draw and embody the path to dreams and how to move along this path.

  • ✔ Cultural Exchange

    How about waking up in the morning with a picture of boyoz and seeing Adana kebab for lunch? Our team, which brings members together from many different cities, also allows us to gather these cultures in one platform. By seeing the very different traditions of our country in the same environment, we have created a sharing space for our members to adopt their world knowledge.

  • ✔ Teamwork & Fun!

    As FIRST said, don't forget to have fun! Our team members can only see each other during the competitions throughout the year, but have a lot of experience coordinating and working together using only online tools. It's not an abnormal trait here to laugh together while working and dance when you're stressed!
