Turkish Air Sports Federation Drone Referee Selçuk University staff Süleyman Korucu said, “We were in the top 5 among the 100 athletes who participated in the Teknofest Drone Championship organized by the Air Sports Federation and TEKNOFEST. I would like to thank our Rector Prof. Dr. Metin Aksoy and Konya Teknokent for their support. We do our training in the stadium provided to us and prepare our students for competitions. Students studying at Selçuk University have important opportunities in terms of both education and technical equipment. Our students, who are trained as professional athletes, design the devices themselves.”
