== '''STRATEGY #2: INCREASING I&E AWARENESS AMONG HIGH SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS''' ==
===Project: extremeDesign - Entrepreneurship Summer School===
'''''Person In Charge'':''' Eren Anter
=== Project Details ===
''"Opportunities don't happen, you create them."''
<br />
==== Theoretical and Practical Education ====
* '''Basic Skills Course:''' We found that our high school fellows, especially those who do not already have experience, often do not have the basic competencies to develop a project, and we wanted to give them a specially designed crash course on this subject instead of pulling them out as many other training programs do.* '''Design Thinking Course:''' We will open this course to both our high school friends and our university friends. You can think of this part of the training as an accelerated and condensed version of the Fire Up Changemakers program. We plan to teach the Problem Defining/HMW techniques to the participants at the beginning of the process, and then to transfer the Brainstorming and Prototyping techniques to the participants. Participants will be supported at every stage of Design Thinking with practices and assignments as in Fire Up.* '''Extreme Design Challenge Courses:''' Challenges will consist of real life case studies for high school students, and real problems that require engineering knowledge for college students. In this part of the program, the teams have already been determined and they will receive training and consultancy on the topics we think are necessary for their own challenges.* '''Entrepreneurship 101:''' We think that this is very important at the beginning of the program. In particular, we predict that entrepreneurship education in the theoretical sense, having a good command of entrepreneurship stories and entrepreneurship concepts will make serious contributions to the participants throughout the process.
<br />
==== Extreme Design Challenges ====
* 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.
== '''STRATEGY #3: BUILDING A SECOND LANGUAGE SPEAKING & CULTURE COMMUNITY''' ==
=== Core Project: Spanish Speaking Community (ESPComunidad) ===
===== ''Person'' in Charge: Furkan Varol =====
==== Project Details ====
* From the motto 'think big, start small, work fast and do something everyday to advance the project', the project will take its start from a very core group of people who learn Spanish as a second foreign language at Bogazici University.
* The first activities will be focused on enhancing speaking ability in Spanish though coffee talks in cafés.
* Modern Language Unit at Bogazici and Cervates Institutes are tought to be the first two stakeholders of the project.
* As the community gets bigger, activities done by the ESPComunidad will be diversified.
