We chose to name our team “Angora06”. This refers to the centennial of the Treaty of Angora (also called the Ankara Treaty) signed in 1921 between France and Turkey. It was the first treaty in which a member of the Triple Agreement, the winners of the First World War, recognized the newly independent Republic of Turkey. That is why it plays a key role in Franco-Turkish relations. Thus, for our school, sharing this same ambition, we decided to name our team 06 Angora, the "06" representing the postal code of the city. We chose this name to remind us of the Franco-Turkish heritage and values.
Our 15-member team consists of excellent future leaders who specialize in their areas of interest. We wanted to start our efforts for FIRST with a strong team. Thus, academic achievement, continuity of work and versatility have been taken into account in our selection process. We have specifically recruited members of our team after assessing their STEAM skills. This allowed us to have only ambitious and adequate students enrolled in the project. Gender equality is also an important aspect of our selection process, as we try to accept qualified men and women in our team. These talented young women have important roles within our group, as our Secretary-General and Treasurer will surely tell you!
