Under the coordination of the Üsküdar University Department of Health, Culture and Sports, a technical trip was carried out to the IT Valley with members of the 'IEEE Üsküdar University Student Branch Club', consisting of students from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences. Students, who also had the opportunity to see the national vehicle TOGG up close, met with experts in their fields and had the chance to ask their questions.
In the IT Valley located in İzmit Gebze, the trip, held under the chairmanship of SKS Manager Sadık Paksoy, was also attended by Osman Boyraz, Istanbul AK Party Deputy for the 24th, 26th, and 27th terms. The technical trip began with a warm welcome and an informative presentation on the ongoing activities in the valley.
A trip where 'the knowledgeable are teachers, and the unknowing are students'
During the Technical Trip organization, the Design Centers in its Ecosystem, located in the valley, and the Paris-based Ecole 42 Software School, where 'the knowledgeable are teachers, and the unknowing are students,' were explored. Here, the students participating in the trip had the opportunity to meet with experts in their fields and ask their questions.
At the second stop of the trip, Dr. Pınar Sipahi, Director of the IT Valley Design Clustering Center, welcomed the participants. In her presentation, which emphasized not only the aesthetics of the designs made in the IT Valley but also the importance of their underlying cultural values, students posed their questions to Dr. Pınar Sipahi, leading to an interactive, conversational presentation.
Opportunity to see the national TOGG vehicle up close
Students with a new design idea had the opportunity to observe the participation of Young Entrepreneurs in the IT Valley Ecosystem, with companies under 3 years old in pre-incubation, and those over 3 years old as R&D companies, and to see the latest technology-equipped products being developed on-site.
The students had the chance to see the Domestic and National TOGG vehicle, which has become a national pride for the country, up close and received information from officials in this context.
Throughout the trip, students broadened their technical perspectives and also gained insights into projects that could inspire their future.
The technical trip held in the IT Valley concluded after a group photo session.
