An educational initiative has been established to train youth in MicroROV (Micro Remotely Operated Vehicle) technology through the exploration of Lake Van. Supported by the Turkish Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate of Relations with Civil Society, the project aims to introduce participants under the age of 18 to underwater robotics, marine sciences, and the lake’s natural and cultural heritage. The program, organized by the Anadolu Underwater Research and Sports Association (ASAD), has launched specialized ‘MicroROV Pilot Training’ in Tatvan, Bitlis. The current cohort includes eighteen students receiving Following theoretical instruction at and pool-based practical training, eighteen students recently completed the Tatvan Seydi Ali Reis Maritime Vocational program, titled ‘My Future is Hidden in Lake Van: Underwater Technologies and Technical Anatolian High School. The curriculum covers Career Path for Youth Aged 14-18’. As part of their field application, the maintenance students utilized Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to explore the depths of MicroROV systems, industrial diving, and Lake Van to document its underwater breathing systems environment. A primary focus of this field study was the recording of microbialites, which are significant natural formations found on the lake bed. The initiative continues to prepare students for careers aim at enhancing technical skills in scientific research, environmental monitoring, and search-and-rescue operations. underwater robotics while increasing documentation of the lake’s unique natural riches.
