The 19th year of the “International ICT Seagulls Projects” was launched at a time when Covid-19 variants were active. However, it was completed due to the commitment of the teams, our virtual consultancy, and the practicality of the “İmece Circles (SQC)” methodology, which proved its success as an important method of distance education.
Our K-12 category project started with three projects from India. Unfortunately, with the unexpected and early loss of dearest SUMITA BHADORIA from CMS School, only two teams could finalize their projects. We have been so sad about the significant loss of CMS. She was a great leader and a wonderful personality with an ever-smiling face and she was always in our project since 2006. We send our condolences to his family and her beloved ones. May her soul rest in peace!
Two high school projects from the Gurugram region were prepared by teams of two different types of high schools under the same Educational Institution name: Blue Bells Model School and Blue Bells Public School. Both teams focused on environment-oriented projects, and they studied the problems of “climate change” and “water problem”. Both schools got good results in their respective categories.
I would like to share with you the project titles and the names of the teams that received awards in this year’s K-12 age category. I will also share the project links for your access.

The Turkish Republic was founded in 1923. So, the 100th anniversary of it will mark the 20th anniversary of our project. This has a very special meaning for us and our country. Please follow us for the main themes of our 2023 project. Registration will start on October 15, 2022. With peace and love…
