Tuğba Sarıcaoğlu (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science), Yaren Durmaz (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science), Doğan Zeki Muratoğlu (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science), the "K-Rod Smart Cane" project came first, and the "TarGO Microprocessor Based Smart Agricultural Technology" project came second among 15 teams.
In addition, at the "Difffusion Pop Culture & Business" festival held in Alba Iulia between June 21 and 23, 2024, as a leg of the BIP event, our four teams presented their project ideas to angel investors of companies and organizations such as Growceanu and Transylvanian Angels Network and received training on building startups and seeking investors. We believe that our students, who were also part of a workshop where they received valuable tips on how to put their ideas into practice, will maintain their success by using the knowledge they have acquired.
We congratulate all our teams on their success. We would also like to thank the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for organizing this event, where Istanbul Kültür University students increased their international recognition.
