Turkish FIRST Robotics Competition Regional Planning Committee

2019-2020 Planning Committee at the 2020 İstanbul Regional (c) Zoe Burchard

The work of planning the regional events (As well as other smaller events that enhance the FRC community in Turkey) would be impossible without the tremendous work of a special group of volunteers who give their time all year long to ensure that these events are as fun, well-organized, and smooth as possible. To those individuals we give a tremendous thank you!

These individuals are alumni, mentors, parents, and working professionals who give of their free time to create an inspirational learning environment for the youth of Turkey.

The committee assignments usually run for a year from September to the next August. At the end of every year there are internal evaluations to ensure we’re doing our best to serve the youth, and individuals may move around within, join anew, or resign from the committee during the evaluation period. For those interested, please apply at this link before 14.9.2020 at 23:59. For more details about how the committee operates and the responsibilities on the committee, please see the committee handbook here: Handbook
