==Bio=#1 – Enabling our students =I was born in Sivas, a small city in Anatolia. I've grown up there except the two years of my high school education which I spent in Kayseri, another relatively bigger city in Turkey. It was there where I first met the innovation concept and gained better perspectives for my future. I realized that I want a life where I can constantly create and improve. My experience with Informatics Olympiads pulled me to better plan the fascinating realm of computer science and manage their time===now, I am in Istanbul studying computer science in Koç University.
====PROJECT IDEA I am right now working on SPARK: Full-Scale Autonomous Car Project, which I have co- KULENDAR:====A calendar portal founded last year. Last year, as a few engineering students who complained that there is not a group -a society etc.- which gathers people who want to create big projects together. So, we said "Why not we start this society?". With the vision of providing a place where all events students can apply their theoretical knowledge to practice in big projects, I acted as the founding co-president of Koç University AI and Robotics Society. Our first project became SPARK to join Robotaxi Autonomous Car Contest in Teknofest, a national technology festival with three million attendants. Although we were just freshman and sophomore students, we won the first place in the preliminary design and simulation stage against 42 other teams which usually included graduate students. Our efforts, however, were halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we returned to our school along with class timeshomes, we were not able to continue to next stages this year. Right now, deadlines we are executing a structural transformation of our society and exams can be seenplanning out our project this year to win the contest.
*Problem:==Social media profiles==**Student Side[https:***There are too many events in our school which makes it very hard to keep track.***Only common ground for promoting events are through email, which leads to many people getting emails that do not relate to them, thus missing the events that they would like to attend***Students cannot plan the events they would like to attend ahead of time//www.***Students have a hard time keeping track of their deadlines for different courses.**School Administration and Student Clubs Side:***Many departments do not have the prior data about student’s vacant times to better plan their events.***Club activities department lose a lot of time sending club activities mails that can be easily automated**Progress:***Connections with IT Department established***Kick off meeting where use cases and MVP will be planned is set.***Team recruiting efforts have begunlinkedin.com/in/meerciyes/ LinkedIn]
