"As the TEKNOFEST Club of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, our goal is to ensure that TEKNOFEST and the National Technology Initiative—of which the most crucial contributors are the youth who have the potential to change the world with their voices—resonate within our university. In this regard, as the TEKNOFEST Club, we organized introductory and informational meetings. We provided information by setting up booths at the Career Fair hosted by ÇOMÜ and at the Trakya Universities Union Project Market.

We attended project presentations organized under the leadership of our Club President Ahmet Tuna Özen’s graduate advisor Kemal Melih Taşkın and our Club Advisors Uğur Cengiz, offering guidance on the projects’ alignment with TEKNOFEST criteria. Of course, during our long academic journey, we didn’t forget to have fun. On February 28, as the Çanakkale TEKNOFEST Club, we organized a trip to the BAYKAR Keşan Research Facilities. On April 23, we gathered with DENEYAP students and their siblings for a movie screening event.

When our club was first established, we participated in the National Afforestation Event organized by the Governorates, together with Müge Teker Yıldız, our Provincial Representative from the T3 Foundation. The saplings we planted in the name of TEKNOFEST and the National Technology Initiative continue to grow."
