2020 NUN Digital Summer School courses are over!

With the Digital Summer School program we launched in July, young people had the chance to experience the future today.

In the digital program attended by 260 students from many different schools at the high school level, students chose the courses they needed for their personal development from 17 other branches. In addition, they got to experience undergraduate education introductory courses. With this opportunity, while preparing for life and undergraduate education, they also got the chance to discover their talents and meet new people.

Eighteen different instructors from world-renowned universities and institutions, such as Ahsen Tutku, ETI founder Sara Minkara, Ali Saydam, and Mennan Şahin, held 63 hours of online classes.

Chief Çiğdem Seferoğlu, one of our educators, said, "It was a pleasure for me to be an exemplary role model for students and to be able to convey the value of giving importance to the mission of the profession rather than its difficulties. Thank you very much."

Dr Furkan Eris said, "Thank you for including me in the program. The enthusiasm of the young people made me very happy. I saw that the younger generation is going to perfect places."

NUN Schools Board Member Prof. Tamer Yılmaz said, "With the digital summer school program we created, we wanted to support students in their personal development, to help them discover their skills and capacities, and to better shape their future decisions. Therefore, we tried to include every branch you can think of, from artificial intelligence to genetics, leadership, gastronomy, and communication. Thus, students gained a unique experience by getting answers to all the questions they were curious about during the lessons from the first and most equipped sources."
