Wendy and I headed out to TEV İnanç Turkey Orel Lisesi school to meet FRC team 4191 - IMC and their FLL team. We had a delightful time meeting the students, hearing about their trips to the Istanbul regional, the Aerospace regional in Lancaster, CA, and World Championship in Houston. We got to hear how they manage shipping their robot, doings outreach, and so many more parts to running successful robotics teams.
Their school is on a gorgeous hilltop overlooking the ocean, with views from many classrooms. It’s a boarding school for gifted and talented youth, and these kids are powerhouses! We also got to see their shop, a dedicated space that gets colds in the winter but is all theirs. We did not get to see their robot, which is still making its way back from Houston.
We got to eat dinner with the team, sharing a typical Tuesday dinner of green beans, lentil soup, yogurt, and a potato filled pastry. Yum! They sent us home with IMC shirts and some of the best baklava I’ve ever had. Thank you IMC, for such a special visit!
Afterwards, Wendy and I made our way down to the scenic waterfront at Ekihisar, then back to the hotel. The view from our window at night is lovely.
