== '''STRATEGY #1: TRAINING MORE ENTREPRENEURS''' ==
=== Project: Training BUnnovation ===
'''''Person in Charge:''''' Osman Oğuz Nuhoğlu
=== Project Details ===
In our school, there is a lack of theoretical education on innovation and entrepreneurship.
This project aims to improve students' knowledge of innovation and entrepreneurship. There will be classes (seminars) every week. Different instructors from different fields will teach a lesson about that week's topic. For example, a professor of psychology will explain the mindset of an entrepreneur or there will be an affective presentation conference from the human resources department.
We will also create a community from this program. This program may be integrated with another program in our school (Fire Up program). That is, this program may be the prerequisite of Fire Up program. This program will require a selection of students because there are a lot of students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation in Boğaziçi University.

</div><div>There are many factors preventing the development of initiatives at Boğaziçi University.Unnecessary restraint of many places that enable students to work, high student population, high student quota,the lack of financial means of the school, the lack of environment that allows students to be creative.</div><div> As Bright team, we tried to understand the Campus problems at Boğaziçi University by using the Design Thinking method with the support of Turkcell Arıkovanı and our team of 10 people and we started this way with our the Design the Campus project. </div><div>Our aim was to create a small butterfly effect and raise awareness on the one hand. The students also had the opportunity to realize their ideas. As a result of the studies, ideas about the development of the campus were formed by the students. At the end of the first session, they started to think about the needs of the students and their solutions with insight surveys. Many prototypes have emerged with the support of sustainability and social impact approach to Turkcell Arıkovanı's ideas. Our students' self-confidence was more fulfilled and they began to use this methodology used by world-renowned companies.</div><div> </div><div>Design thinking, which stands out with its increasing popularity, prepares the ground for the emergence of creative ideas as a methodological approach based on human beings, which enables them to be further developed through prototyping workshops. All these efforts and the systematic of innovative thinking create an impact that shakes people's stereotyped thinking patterns. It is not easy to shake and change the thought patterns that have settled over the years and solidified with experience. Design-oriented thinking avoids the possibility of preventing these patterns from finding new ways and creating new solutions. Thinking outside of the patterns for innovative problem solving can be achieved.</div><div><br/></div>
