The NEXIS program, which is carried out as part of the Özay Günsel Children’s University programs, has invited students from Near East Primary School and Near East College, who share an interest in technology, to join its teams, engaging them in robotics, drone technologies, and 3D design.
NEXIS (Near East Exploration Innovation and STEAM), an initiative of the Özay Günsel Children’s University, provides students with opportunities to transform their curiosity about technology into practical design and production skills. The program, which offers hands-on activities in robotics, programming, technical design, and drone technologies, was introduced to students from Near East Primary School and Near East College during a series of promotional events.
The events, held on various days, were attended by 5th-year students from Near East Primary School as well as students from Near East College. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the work of the NEXIS teams and even operated a robot developed under the guidance of the program’s staff. They also observed a demonstration of a protected drone used for “Drone Soccer” and examined components created with 3D printers, gaining insight into the design and manufacturing processes.
During the well-attended sessions, students were introduced to the various fields of study and the team structure within NEXIS. Those with a passion for technology, design, and production were invited to join the NEXIS teams to further develop their ideas and collaborate on joint projects.
Designing, Producing, and Developing Solutions Two Hours a Week!
NEXIS teams meet for two hours each week to turn their ideas into projects, test their designs, and seek solutions to the technical challenges they encounter. When a system designed by the students does not function as expected, they study together to investigate the essence of the problem, explore various solutions, and refine their projects based on the outcomes.
This collaborative process not only enhances the students’ technical skills but also fosters their ability to delegate tasks, assume responsibility, evaluate diverse perspectives, and make collective decisions. NEXIS provides a working environment where students can gain hands-on experience at every stage of a project, from the initial conceptual phase through design and production to final testing.
NEXIS teams aim for national and international competitions…
Within the framework of NEXIS, an initiative under the Özay Günsel Children’s University, teams are formed with the goal of participating in national and international competitions in fields such as robotics and Drone Soccer. Through competition preparation, students are encouraged to further develop their projects, plan their work toward specific objectives, and gain exposure to the technological solutions devised by other teams.
