'''The roadmap of the certificate program to be organized within the created ITU Innovation Mission is as follows:'''
# Firstly, the student shares his / her problem and solution proposal on the topic of the month from the platform.# # Selected ones meeting on the same denominator are grouped in Discord servers, thus creating learning circles.# # In the learning circles, readings and brainstorms on the main topics are carried out every week. Basic knowledge is fed by various Coursera training according to its denominators.# # Thanks to the mentors from the upper classes assigned to the groups, newcomers in the circle get to know the university culture and start drawing their roadmaps. In addition, tasks to be completed are assigned based on peer review learning nutrition.# # With sector talks (Tuesday Talks), which will be held regularly and Failure Week, sector recognition and networking are provided and university-industry cooperation is strengthened.# # Groups that want to move their projects to the start-up phase can be included in Tough Nut Innovation Camp (Optional).# # Students who actively complete the tasks assigned in the certificate program are invited to the Fire Up Change Pioneers Program.# # Students who have successfully completed the Fire Up process and selected through interviews will be introduced as a candidate cohort for the Stanford University Innovation Fellows Program.

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Selin Yılmaz
==== '''Project Details''' ====
There are 22 student project teams at Istanbul Technical University. They develop several projects that are enhanced with original design understanding, innovative and intelligent solutions, and aim to represent our country and our school in the best way by taking its place in the competition every year. Even though the teams have academic counselors, there is not a specific unit to be interface in their technology transfer process. To strengthen their connection with the industry, the project aims to establish an interface structure in the university which informs teams about the intellectual property law, patent procedures, and strategy development.
=== <big>'''Project #2: Creating a Solution for the Socialization Problem of University Students:'''</big> ===
'''''Person in Charge:''''' Selenay Sonay Tufan
==== '''Project Details''' ====
Our university is Turkey's first technical university and ITU has achieved success with its students and academic staff since 1773. However, when I examined the expectations of students from a school in my interviews, I realized that besides academic success, social life is also indispensable for students. Most of the students were not satisfied with the social life of our university, and they said that this issue got worse during the pandemic period. And I chose this project to develop and improve this issue. The basis of this project is to solve the socialization problem of ITU students.
=== <big>'''Project #3: Improving the Feedback System of the University:'''</big> ===
'''''Person in Charge:''''' Cansu Çevik
==== '''Project Details''' ====
On-campus, lots of problems or complaints about school, life, education style or the world problems are as normal as all around the world. But specifically in ITU, we have a “Support Ticket System” about the lectures and general ideas about the school itself. Along with the research that we made and also personal experiences this kind of application students do not feel so comfortable because of this button connected to the school management and there is always a question about “Is my comment will be effective on my education treatment?” and we started from here to pop these bubbles and negativity in students' minds and turn these negative impacts to new brief innovation and entrepreneurship forest. Alright hun, “How Are We Going To Do This Real?”

==== '''Project Details''' ====
According to observations and 1-1 interview insights, my team and I released that people need to work together and a common perspective and approach to creating value in a manner. That's why we designed the first project as a workshop chain. With the workshops, we supply people an opportunity to join a participatory platform and create value with different, unfamiliar people.
