Influenced by Bayraktar TB2, we aimed to build our own drone by saying, ‘Why shouldn’t we make our own drone too’. We first talked about this goal to our Consultant Teacher Leyla Sınay Altaylı and said: We contacted CBU Engineering Faculty Aviation Space and Technology Club and consulted and worked with the members of the Şehzade UAV Team that competed in TEKNOFEST last year. Finally, our UAV, which we named Şehzade Ventus, which means wind in Latin, emerged. This year We are participating in TEKNOFEST for the first time. Our vehicle will compete in the free-duty branch in the Free Wing Category. Our task will be to parachute the emergency kit to the victims. We would like to thank the Mayor of Şehzadeler Ömer Faruk Çelik, who supported us during the construction of our vehicle, for trusting and supporting us. We will participate in the competition. We want to make our school and city proud by getting a good grade.”

Our friends told us about their project when they came to us 5 months ago. We held meetings by talking about the difficulty of the vitol project, which they thought at the first stage. Based on our experience, we said that it would be more appropriate for them to compete in the fixed wing branch, and we decided that they would participate in the competition in this branch. We provided all necessary support to our student brothers and sisters in terms of electronics and software.”
A DREAM TURNED INTO REALITY
Manisa Social Sciences High School Deputy Head Director Adem Kurt stated that when his students came to them with the idea of making a drone, he continued his words as follows; “When our students came to us, we saw that we were faced with students who were very excited and focused on a goal. We had some hesitation when they told us about the UAV. We thought how right it would be for them to give it to a field. We were excited about the love of drones we saw in our students, and then we had meetings with our school principal and our team came to these days. A protocol was signed with the CBU Engineering Faculty Aviation Space and Technology Club and our students received the necessary training there. As a result, Şehzade Ventus As Social Sciences High School, our biggest supporters were CBU and Şehzadeler Municipality while we set out on this road. Şehzadeler Municipality opened the UAV Construction Workshop in Fatih Youth Center for us. Just at the point when we said that everything is over, our Mayor of Şehzadeler Ömer Faruk Çelik said that we are behind you materially and morally. . We would like to thank our Mayor Ömer Faruk Çelik. This excitement, this support, revealed the Şehzadeler Ventus. A good result we will get in the finals will be a nice gift to Manisa Celal Bayar University, Engineering Faculty Aviation Space and Technology Club and Şehzadeler Municipality. “
