All-female Turkish high school team wins First Robotics Competition

A group of Turkish female high school students claimed top honors in the prestigious First Robotics Competition (FRC) in New York on Monday, paving their way to the world championship.

Techtolia Robotics, comprising students from Tenzile Erdogan Anatolian Imam Hatip High School, emerged as the sole all-female team to clinch the "Impact Award" in the competition organized by FIRST, a global nonprofit organization focused on preparing youth for the future.

The team is now gearing up to compete in the world robot championship scheduled to take place in Texas next month.

Emrah Akdeniz, one of the mentors of Techtolia Robotics, expressed their pride in representing Türkiye at the First World Championship set to be held in Houston in April.
