在臺灣政府及老師的推薦之下,土耳其首度派出隊伍參加智鐵競賽,來自土耳其的《OKSEF》充滿著活力和熱情,他們形容自己是一支具備所有成功條件的隊伍,準備好在這場連續72小時的戰役中發揮培養許久的實力和默契。

OKSEF from Turkey has come up with all the energy and enthusiasm. They’re a team that have most of the qualities of success, they said. They are ready to show a long-term strength and chemistry in this 72-hour competition. With the recommendation of Taiwan government and their teachers, Turkey participate in the IICC for the first time.

起初《OKSEF》對競賽並不太了解,於是他們一起準備,對照前幾年的比賽,安排好各種事,並根據每個人擅長的領域分配工作。

At first, they have no idea about the IICC, so they started to work together, checking the other years,deal with everything, then they assigned work according to everyone’s advantages.

做足準備的《OKSEF》表示,在這場72小時不間斷的競賽中有了不少收穫,除了科技的使用,他們也學會了如何以團隊的方式運作,72小時的賽制也訓練出他們的耐心。經過了這五天的決賽,讓他們真的成為「鐵人」。

The well-prepared OKSEF also made a lot of gains in this 72-hour uninterrupted competition. Except for the using of technology, they also learned how to work as a team. Besides, they’re more patient after the 72-hour competition, becoming real “Ironmen”.

「沒有『我』,只有『我們』」,「無私」是他們的共識。隊員都來自同一所學校,在組隊參賽前,隊伍間的成員早已認識超過一年,他們只說「我們」要做什麼,而非「我」要做什麼。夥伴間也會一起分享意見,分工合作,讓他們的任務都能進行更順利。

No “I”, always “we”. “Selfless” is their consensus. The members of OKSEF are all from the same school. Before the group organized, they have already known each other for more than one year. They always say that “we” are going to do, instead of “I” am going to do. Also, they share ideas together, dividing their works.

第一次來到台灣,異國的文化和食物都令他們著迷,連對他們而言難用的筷子都喜歡,在這次交流當中,認識來自各國的朋友,他們更熱情歡迎大家一起到土耳其來場探險。(記者黃于庭、謝安然/採訪報導)
