Sabancı University artificial intelligence club kAi Sabancı became the first and only club from Turkey and Europe to be accepted into the NVIDIA Student Network program. The club president also gave advice for young people.
While artificial intelligence technologies continue to make great strides around the world, the number of these initiatives is increasing in our country, especially our students are making a name for themselves with their ideas. in our country college students The extent to which he started to focus on this field was demonstrated with great success in a concrete way.
Sabancı University Artificial Intelligence Club “kAi Sabancı” has been accepted to NVIDIA’s Student Network program. The club is not only in Turkey, The only club in Europe to be accepted into the program it happened. With this acceptance, Sabancı University became one of the 4 pilot universities in the world included in the program.
What is the NVIDIA Student Network that Sabancı University Artificial Intelligence Club accepts?
One of the biggest names in artificial intelligence, NVIDIA’s Student Network program offers students around the world. lay the foundations for their careers in artificial intelligence aims to provide Within the scope of the program, artificial intelligence trainings and project opportunities are offered.
Projects offered to students within the scope of the program include projects in data science, speech recognition and processing, image processing and many more. Students from around the world come together on an established Discord server, participate in special events, meet each other, and already create their own networks. Moreover from artificial intelligence engineers at NVIDIA receive one-on-one support for their projects.

What projects does the club plan to undertake with NVIDIA support?
The founder and president of the club, Serhan Yılmaz, is involved in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and similar fields as part of the NVIDIA program, and its sub-branches such as image processing, speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), creative artificial intelligence and conversational artificial intelligence. intelligence creation and to many more projects He said he was planning to sign.
It will contribute to the development and analysis of all kinds of machine learning projects that contain every data they get their hands on within Sabancı University.kAi Open Data PortalHe also stated that they will start working on the implementation of the project in the near future.
Advice from the club president to young people:
We asked the club president, Serhan Yılmaz, to give some advice for young people who want to be active in this field. He tells our young friends:
“It is necessary to start working in this field as soon as possible. The world is changing so fast now. My advice to high school students is to build a strong math and coding foundation in their spare time. You should definitely not wait for college, the more you learn in high school, the better you will be!
Never limit your creativity. In your spare time, create projects, participate in competitions and meet like-minded people. Artificial intelligence is now entering every area of life you can think of.
We and people like us who think big will create the future, we should always dare to think big and dream big and try to leave a mark.”
There is also advice to parents:
“It is very important to stimulate the curiosity of children and to increase their interest in this field by using materials suitable for their age. I think that logic books and intelligence questions at an early age are useful in this regard.”
