High School Students Dazzled With Tech Projects


The 'Istanbul Provincial Symposium on Science Applications in High Schools‘ hosted by Istanbul Gelisim University was held with the theme of ‘Future Technologies: Economy and Finance'. To the symposium, Istanbul Provincial Deputy Director of National Education Dr. Ömer Avcı, Provincial National Education Branch Manager Latif Demirkaya, Istanbul Gelisim University Rector Prof. Bahri Şahin, school principals and high school students attended. High school students introduced science projects by giving presentations. After visiting the workshops, certificates were distributed to the participants.


Dr. Ömer Avcı said, "Today, by discussing the future of technology under the headings of economy and finance, we are opening the door to a discussion that will shape not only the present but also the future. Science and technology are now an integral part of our lives. However, we would like to point out that the field of science is not just about experiments, data and observations. At the core of science is a profound philosophical background that we call metaphysical intuition. Metaphysical intuition is an integral part not only of philosophy but also of science.”

 

"We must contribute to achieving national goals"

Istanbul Gelisim University Rector  Prof. Bahri Şahin said, "There are national goals set by our country. Our country has taken a rapid step towards these national goals in the last 20 years. As universities, we have to contribute to achieve these national goals in a short time. One of the most important missions of universities is to walk towards goals together with its stakeholders. National Education is our closest stakeholder. Therefore, we are all a part of education. In fact, the higher the quality of previous education from kindergarten to preschool, primary school, secondary school, high school and university, the more quality outputs we can achieve at the university. We can continue our science journey more successfully.”
 
Prof.  Şahin: “Universities should always be ready and willing to support such scientific work at the high school level. As Istanbul Gelisim University, we see it as a responsibility to be with our young people who increase scientific awareness and strengthen their ability to question at every step. We will continue to support the production and intellectual development of our students on a wide platform ranging from Gelisim Art Gallery to our Technology Development Center, from our Technology Transfer Office to our social responsibility projects.

Alternative fuel project from hydrogen

Defne Yılmaz, a 9th grade student at Beşiktaş Atatürk Anatolian High School, explained their project on hydrogen fuel with the following words:
"Due to the increase in fossil fuels in the world and their environmental impact, our tendency towards alternative energy sources has accelerated. So we chose hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source and showed that hydrogen can be useful. Together with the electrolysis method, we enabled the formation of hydrogen with other alternative renewable energy sources and created such a scanner with the literature method. With the transportation of fuel cells, we have revealed that it can be a really big project in terms of storing and transporting hydrogen and producing it separately, if certain costs can be taken care of. We would like to thank Istanbul Gelisim University for giving us the opportunity to introduce this project."

They dictated fables on artificial intelligence

Mert Yıldırım and Rana Ezgi, students of Nişantaşı Nuri Akın Anatolian High School preparatory class, explained their research on the fable creation and effects of artificial intelligence. Yıldırım said, "We had artificial intelligences produce fables one by one and analyzed their emotional connections, allegorical structures and their suitability for Turkish. Then we conducted a survey with the participation of 50 people. As a result, we examined whether people could distinguish between artificial intelligence and human fables. Finally, we asked other artificial intelligence to criticize the fables written by artificial intelligence. We wanted to find out how constructive they could think. Our results showed that a fable written by artificial intelligence could be distinguished from one written by a human.”

"Our goal is to create artificial intelligence with Turkish infrastructure"

Rana Ezgi stated that they middle the difference of artificial intelligence from human intelligence with the research and said, "The results we obtained were a little more ambiguous due to the fact that artificial intelligence has an English infrastructure. Our future goal is to create a Turkish-based version of artificial intelligence and to share this work in more detail and clearly by using it. To print a more detailed and longer text in the artificial intelligence program that we aim to create with our Turkish engineers and ourselves. Comparing this text with the books written by people and working with larger public opinion surveys to get a clearer and more detailed result.”
