We Come in Second in Middle-East Africa Region in "Go Green" Competition Organized by Schneider Electric

The team founded by Ece Sümer, senior Electrical-Electronics student at the Faculty of Engineering, Sinem Öztürk and Fatma Nur Keleş, senior Industrial Engineering students at the Faculty of Engineering, came in second in the “Go Green” competition. Organized by Schneider Electric with the participation of students from all around the world, the Go Green competition is intended to facilitate the development of new solutions to global problems. With the smart home system they designed in the “Homes of the Future” category, our team drew attention to household energy consumption while also increasing awareness and facilitating energy saving. The team created a platform through which energy savings can be translated into donations for countries in need. Furthermore, the team also supported the system with a mobile application, making it much easier to integrate it to daily life.

The competition started in September 2021 and the OzU team advanced to the MEA Regional Finals held April 6, 2021 as the only team to represent Turkey in the Go Green MEA Regional Semi-Finals. We would like to congratulate our students on their second place win in the MEA Regional Finals and  and wish them continued success.
