Who is Mehmet Ali Makbuloğlu?
Mehmet Ali Makbuloğlu was born in 2001. He is in the 10th grade. In 2014, when he couldn't get the medicine his sibling needed for an illness because the roads were closed, he started Project:DROVE, a Pharmacy Drone project. Having embraced the Maker Movement along the way, Mehmet Ali gave workshops to children at Istanbul Maker Lab, and at various education seminars he explained to teachers the behaviors, wishes and actions of 21st-century students. For 1 year, he took part with his school team from Turkey in the FRC (First Robotics Competition), sponsored by NASA and Google. In 2016 he put the DROVE Project on hold and started Project: Pira so that people from all walks of life could build drones according to their needs without going through the difficulties he faced while building a drone. Pira, now run by two young entrepreneurs, is at its 3rd prototype stage. Connecting maker culture with the 21st century, Mehmet Ali is trying to spread these concepts through examples
