Who Are We?

2021-2022

Açı High School Robotics team was established in October 2019. The robotics club, which was started by our school in the previous school term, formed the basis of our team. Our interest in design, coding, problem identification, and solving prompted us to join the team from scratch. As our name suggests, “Tech4Peace” aims to reduce everyone’s fear of robots, especially young people, and the fear of robots taking the place of humans.

Even though it was our first year as a team, our excitement encouraged us to start big. That’s why we decided to join both the VRC and the FRC with the same team. Thanks to the support of our school, he helped us get the necessary kits to get us started. We participated in two of the VEX Robotics Competitions held in Turkey. Although it was very difficult to prepare for VRC and FRC at the same time with a rookie team, we managed to make it to the quarter-finals of the VRC National Championship. In addition, we won the Creativity Award in the FRC Istanbul Regional competition that we participated in.

In the 2021-2022 season, we will participate in VRC competitions with two teams “Terminus” and “Tech4Peace”. We will have the same high motivation and goals under the name of Açı HS Robotics.

What We Do?

Our Aim

To inspire those around us to develop their STEM skills and those who don’t have enough resources to chase their dreams. Contributing the most to a brighter future.

Our difference

As one of the most successful teams, we aim to be different by sharing what we have and helping others gain knowledge so they can look to a brighter future. We want to be known as a robotics team that inspires people by sharing what they know. This is our difference.

Future Plans

At Tech4Peace, we want to increase interest in the STEM field and prove that there is no need to be afraid of robots. To achieve this, we plan to work with other schools to share our vision and help them build their own teams.

Outreach Activities

The most important values of Açı Schools robotics team are to transfer the achievements such as problem finding and definition, problem-solving, creativity, taking responsibility, teamwork, and division of labor to other students and young people who cannot benefit from the same opportunities. Knowledge and experience in technology are the two most valuable things. However, as a result of our research on other high school robot teams, we realized that teams that are very knowledgeable and experienced in robotics do not share their knowledge sufficiently. As Açı Robotics team, we attach importance to benevolence and we think that what makes information valuable is that everyone can access that information. For this reason, we carry out numerous social responsibility projects and contribute to the society. Some of our social responsibility activities;

Technology trainings we have given to Türkan Efe Primary School
Face shields we produce to support healthcare workers.
Technology trainings we give to İZEV Foundation
Coding and 3D design trainings we provide to secondary school students from SAGEM institution
The FLL team we formed with kindergarten students

VEX ROBOTICS COMPETITION

Invigorating students with a passion for STEM with robotics!

VEX V5 represents our fifth generation of educational robotics systems developed with 20 years of experience using robotics to teach STEM principles. V5 electronics are approachable, flexible, and powerful, using state-of-the-art technology to ensure relevant education outcomes. The V5 mechanical system includes versatile elements that make engineering approachable for novice users, while still providing experienced users with endless design possibilities. VEX allows students to hone critical computational thinking skills needed to succeed in both the 21st century’s workforce and in everyday life.
