Every individual is blessed with skills and talent. Whereas facilitation and support can bring out the hidden inside. The purpose of institutions is to facilitate and guide the enrolled student to explore out their talent. That makes them able to contribute to society. Institute like IST is the productive one that facilitates students. As recently a team of 9 students from Pakistan’s Institute of Space Technology has secured 1st position in International Free Mission Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Competition (silver Category) in Turkey’s Teknofest.
The competitions were held from 13-18th September 2021. The extra-ordinary team members included Muhammad Aitessam Ahmed, Hussain Ali, Abdullah Afzal, Shaheer Ul Haque, Hussain Asghar, M. Moaz Khalid, Ali Hassan, Nimra Saeed & Syed Zahid Abbas.
The competition was held in Bursa, Turkey, where 240 teams from around the world participated. Dr. Abdul Waheed, Head Avionics Engineering Department, and Team Lead Adeel Yousaf, Lecturer Avionics department supervised the IST team and bagged 1st position in Silver Category and overall 4th position in the competition.
The team from Pakistan competed against groups from Poland, Indonesia, and Turkey itself and won a cash prize of 36,000 Turkish Lira (approx. PKR 6.9 lacs) respectively.
All the institutions need to enhance their facilitation scheme so that more and more students would be able to dig out their skills and talent.
