Since November 2024, I have volunteered over 100 hours with AIP Foundation, supporting projects like Acts of Kindness on Hold and the Wishing Tree Project. These initiatives focused on uplifting mothers and children through education, health, and welfare programs, teaching me the value of consistent service.

After many hours of community work, I realized that time, like a charity coin, can only be spent once. During my internship at KREA.Digital, I was introduced to a world of opportunities where technology and social impact may intersect. Guided by KREA’s motto of providing pro bono services to charities and NGOs, I designed a mobile donation project to transform my community hours into ‘social business coins’—resources that can be reinvested again and again. The idea is simple: donors send a text message to KREA.Digital’s mobile short code service, indicating the amount they wish to donate to AIP, which is then added directly to their phone bill. The project received very positive feedback, and we plan to launch it before the end of 2025, once all paperwork is finalized.

Through the Lemon Project, I taught robotics to children at Hisar School, dedicating 150+ hours to nurturing curiosity and hands-on problem-solving skills. This experience showed me how empowering young learners builds confidence that extends beyond the classroom.

I led a workshop titled “Make Your Own Calculator Using Java Programming” at the 11th Coding Summit. Teaching middle and high school students strengthened my communication skills and proved that complex ideas can be made accessible and fun.

As part of the Media Team for the İstanbul High School Philosophy Clubs Platform, I helped coordinate World Philosophy Day, engaging 14 high schools. My contribution ensured smooth communication and highlighted the importance of intellectual collaboration.

At the 3rd Student Symposium “In the Footsteps of Thinkers”, I delivered weekly lectures to peers from 11 high schools. Sharing ideas in this forum deepened my appreciation for dialogue and the exchange of diverse perspectives.

Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
