*At this stage, it would not be wrong to say that the challenges of high school and university students on this issue are very different from each other. High school students will deal with real cases and real solutions that will be requested from institutions that are suitable for their level and that are experts in their fields. University students, on the other hand, will progress through real problems that will require interdisciplinary work, good teamwork and research. For example, they will try to solve the irrigation problem in a field in Istanbul, or they will try to reduce health expenditures in a disadvantaged region, while trying to improve the quality of health care. High school students will present their projects to relevant institutions or professionals. However, university students will be focused on prototype production, which will require advanced creativity and collaboration. In the project development process, high school students will have the opportunity to gain internships from relevant institutions, while university students will be able to benefit from all the opportunities of Boğaziçi University Entrepreneurship Center if they are successful in their projects.

With the deficency of these, they suffer in not only academic issues but also business experiences. For instance, most of Turkish students graduate from high school without making a teamwork properly. Our project's main focus is developing these skillsets from very beging to high levels. We will do it with some layers which are 101, 201 and 301. '''101 layer:''' In this layer, students will gain competencies such as presentation techniques, research methods, technology, information and health literacy that everyone should have. Thus, whether they prefer entrepreneurship as a career goal or not, they will be able to think critically and make their own decisions. '''201 layer:''' At this stage students will learn about specific business areas after general education at 101. For example, after receiving general information from experts and academics in the fields of blockchain, fintech, social entrepreneurship or artificial intelligence, they will choose a vertical and gain technical equipment. The field they chose will be the field where they will form a team and develop a project with other students who have chosen the same field. '''301 layer:''' In this last layer, students will receive mentorship from their chosen role models that have made an impact in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation, and will do internships at institutions such as civil society and startups with which we cooperate in order to better see the opportunities in the field. In addition, it will be better equipped by choosing the appropriate ones from a training package consisting of niche areas such as language and software. For example, if the biggest market in the industry where he developed a project is in China, he will learn basic Chinese. At the end of 1 year training, we will be expecting some specific projects from teams and provide network and sponsorship support. We hope different projects from different areas' being launched thanks to training.
