=== '''2024 Cohort''' ===
<br />
=== '''Project #1: Mentor A-Bee''' ===
'''People in Charge:''' Ada Nehir Doğan, Nur Yıldız, Onat Budak, Tuğba Öztürk
This project introduces an '''AI Mentor Platform''' designed to assist students by providing
* personalized guidance,
* academic planning,
* emotional well-being support.
AI mentor aims to create a '''tailored''', '''supportive''' environment that helps students achieve their academic and personal goals efficiently and effectively.
'''Academic Guidance and Resource Recommendation:'''
Based on each student's unique background and goals, the AI mentor provides:
'''Course Recommendations:''' Optimal course paths aligned with degree requirements and personal interests.
'''Study Plans:''' Custom schedules to balance workload and support academic success. Additional Resources: Suggestions for tutoring, study groups, or advanced materials for deeper understanding.
'''Emotional Well-being Support:'''
The AI mentor also tracks students' emotional health, and offers:
'''Well-being Check-ins:''' Periodic prompts for students to reflect on their mental health and adjust schedules as needed.
'''Resource Referrals:''' Recommendations for on-campus counseling, mindfulness programs, or stress-relief activities to prevent burnout.
'''Personalized Information Gathering:'''
The AI mentor begins by gathering comprehensive information about each student, including:
'''Academic History:''' Insights into past performance, interests, and learning styles.
'''Personal Preferences:''' Hobbies, social preferences, and desired campus experiences.
'''Goals and Aspirations:''' Career plans, internship interests, and extracurricular preferences.
This data is collected through interactive surveys, integration with academic records, and real-time communication.
=== '''Project #2: Bee Hive''' ===
'''People in Charge:''' Ada Nehir Doğan, Nur Yıldız, Onat Budak, Tuğba Öztürk
Students at Istanbul Technical University face significant challenges in '''securing accommodation''' because of capacity problems in dormitories. Most of the students can't use dorms and the school is having budgeting issues with building new dorms.
To address the pressing housing needs of students, we propose the implementation of modular and adaptable housing units.
These units can be easily expanded or reduced based on fluctuating student enrollment and demand, providing a flexible solution to the university’s accommodation challenges in the most affordable and environmental way.
* The modular design allows for '''quick expansion or reduction''' of housing units based on real-time student enrollment, ensuring that accommodation needs are met without overbuilding or underutilizing resources.
* By utilizing modular units, the university can significantly reduce construction and maintenance costs by using eco-friendly materials, promoting environmental sustainability, aligning with the university’s commitment to a '''green campus''', and reducing the overall carbon footprint.

=== '''Project #3: Design Lab''' ===
'''People in Charge:''' Ada Nehir Doğan, Nur Yıldız, Onat Budak, Tuğba Öztürk
It is a place on campus where students from diverse disciplines—engineering, design, architecture, and beyond—can come together to '''innovate''', '''collaborate''', and '''work closely''' with industry leaders.
Rather than constructing new facilities, we’re '''reimagining underused spaces''' on campus, transforming them into vibrant design hubs where creativity and practical learning can thrive.
