The winners of the “Further with Science” experiment competition organized by the European Union Information Center within the scope of European Research and Innovation Days have been announced. Near East College 6th year students won the Special Jury Prize in the short video competition themed “Experiments”.

The 6th year students of Near East College, supervised by Science Teacher İpek Alemdar Akça, demonstrated the “simple distillation” method in practice in the experiment they conducted in the school laboratory. The experimental team, consisting of Erol Özkul, Aral Selvi, Barış Bahriyeli, Poyraz Çelik and Çinar Egemen, applied the solution prepared with copper sulfate and water through various processes and demonstrated the transformation stages of the solution into pure water.

Ömer Özkan: “I congratulate our students and teachers for their success.”

Reminding that practicing in a laboratory environment in science courses enables students to reinforce their theoretical knowledge with concrete experiences, Near East College Principal Ömer Özkan said, “With laboratory applications, which are one of the most important parts of the education we provide in our schools, our students will be able to better understand abstract concepts and develop their skills in associating them with the real world.”

Özkan said, “I congratulate our students and teachers for their success in the “Further with Science” experiment competition organized by the European Union Information Center, and added, “The laboratory experience of our students played a decisive role in this success.”
