Bartın University (BARÜ) TEKNOFEST Club was established in 2025 with the aim of bringing the "National Technology Initiative" vision to university youth and contributing to the development of qualified human resources who will produce the technologies of the future. Our club aims to create an interdisciplinary working and production ecosystem, primarily in aviation, space, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and entrepreneurship.
The club's main objective is to enable students to successfully represent our university on national and international platforms, especially TEKNOFEST, by supporting their theoretical knowledge with project-based work. Shortly after its establishment, a participatory structure encompassing faculty, department, and student society representatives was created across the university; a volunteer-based, sustainable, and inclusive model was adopted.
In this context, our club has participated in the Istanbul National Technology Summit, conducted technical trips, carried out promotional and representation activities within BARÜFEST, held technology talks within the university, and organized awareness events. Furthermore, it has strengthened its institutional competence with its project accepted under the GSB ÜNİDES program and its membership in the TÜBİTAK National Technology Clubs Union (MTKB).
The club's vision is to lead the way in fostering a culture of productive, conscious, and responsible youth who transform their ideas into value-added projects. Through trainings, technical trips, peer learning, and project-based work, it consistently carries out its activities in line with the goal of a "Fully Independent Türkiye".
