Move Up "Shape Your Future in One Day" Trainings Have Started

The BAU Move Up "Shape Your Future in One Day" trainings, which inform prospective students about their future plans, are taking place on 26–27 February. The training will be held between 9:30 and 16:30 (full day), and participating students will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the training.

Taking a different perspective on the question of what the professions of the future should be by asking "What should the competencies and skills of the future be?", and aiming to inform prospective students about their future plans, BAU is once again bringing the MOVE UP training, which will help them shape their future in one day, to prospective high school students.

The training program, covering 21st-century competencies, will include interactive activities as well as the sharing of up-to-date information on "Information Technology Law, The Power of Information: BIG DATA, Artificial Intelligence, FinTech and Crypto Economy, Creativity in Digital Communication, Advertising and Becoming a Brand in the Metaverse World, Design Thinking."

On the first day of the training, BAU Faculty of Law Vice Dean Assist. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Sinan Altunç said: "In a period when everything is rapidly becoming digital, developing in the field of Information Technology Law will hold an important place in the future."

Referring to the importance of Big Data, BAU Big Data Application and Research Center Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yücel Batu Salman said: "Big Data research enables us to answer different and complex questions in many fields, such as cybersecurity!"

BAU Artificial Intelligence Center Director Dr. Fatih Kahraman said: "At this point, we can see how far artificial intelligence technology has come. The opportunity for growth in this field continues to expand every day."

Underlining the importance of the crypto economy, BAU Financial Research and Application Center Coordinator Assist. Prof. Dr. Serkan Yeşilyurt said: "In the future, we will encounter the crypto economy in many more places than we do today."

During the training, BAU Faculty of Communication Vice Dean Assist. Prof. Dr. Şafak Şahin talked about the work of the Bahçeşehir University Creative Industries Center (BAUKEM) and the future of digital communication.

BAU Faculty of Architecture and Design Dean Prof. Dr. Murat Dündar, one of the speakers at the training, said: "Thinking differently in architectural design is now a necessity. We need to learn and teach how to think differently."

Speaking on the second day of the Move Up trainings, BAU Faculty of Law Vice Dean Assist. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Sinan Altunç said: "Contrary to what many people think, law follows after certain developments take place in society. With artificial intelligence, too, it was only after progress was seen in engineering that people began to ask whether there could be a law for it."

Continuing the training, BAU Big Data Application and Research Center Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yücel Batu Salman said: "With the advancement of technology, an evolutionary process is entering our lives; as a result, we change our behavior and expectations as individuals."

BAU Artificial Intelligence Center Director Dr. Fatih Kahraman said: "If something does not require prediction in any way, there is no place for artificial intelligence there."

BAU Faculty of Communication Dean Prof. Dr. Hasan Kemal Suher addressed the students, saying: "Help education rise not only as your own personal equipment but as a form of consciousness."
