Yunus Emre Enstitüsü completed the second "Robotic Training" program aimed at Syrian youth and organized in the Turkish Red Crescent Ankara Community Centre.

In the program featuring brain engineering, woodwork and play workshops, Syrian students executed various applications with Turkish students. 14 students participated in the program.

In the robotics workshop, students brainstormed on various subjects as mechanical design, creating algorithms and enabling task performance in line with specified task, basic circuit elements in electronics and building circuits, building alternating-current systems, creating light, sound, vibration and motion circuits, 3D design arrangement and coding at basic level with the help of experts.

At brain engineering workshop, advanced technology applications such as computer control by transferring brainwave data to a computer, were tested.

A most entertaining section of the program was the woodwork workshop. The students were thrilled to shape the wood as they wished using small turning lathes at the woodwork workshop.

Brainteaser competitions were also organized at the gaming workshop. Students enjoyed the brainteasers aimed at strategy development, reasoning and spatial perception.

The first of the program was held last November.

Yunus Emre Enstitüsü supports activities organized to assist Syrian refugees in their efforts to overcome language barriers, to learn Turkish with the aim of facilitating their integration to the society.
