MEB-KIT ROBOT COMPETITION AND AWARD CEREMONY HELD
To support the effective use of IT Labs and Innovative Classrooms, enhance students’ coding skills, and encourage the use of the MEB-KİT Robotics Coding Platform (https://mebkit.eba.gov.tr/), an online MEB-KİT Robot Competition was held via the platform from 18 to 24 May 2026. An online award ceremony was subsequently held on 19 June 2026 for the winning teams.
The competition was held in three categories—Middle School Line-Following Robot, Middle School Wall-Following Robot, and High School Hybrid—using the simulation and coding tools available on the MEB-KİT Robotics Coding Platform. A total of 2,051 teams, comprising 3,792 students and their supervising teachers, participated in the competition. At the end of the process, nine teams qualified for awards by completing the competition course in the shortest time and without errors.
The award ceremony was attended by Mustafa CANLI, Director General; Mehmet HASDEMİR, Head of the Information Technology Infrastructure Systems Department; and Sümeyye Hatice ERAL, Head of the Digital Skills Department. During the online ceremony, the winning teams in the different categories were announced. The students then shared their experiences and excitement throughout the competition in their reflections on the event.
The MEB-KİT Robotics Coding Platform aims to help students develop their coding, programming, and algorithmic thinking skills. Through this competition, the platform is expected to reach and be used by a wider range of teachers and students.
