Six mobile applications were developed to practice and to meet the requirements
At the end of the coding training, six mobile applications were developed. These are: “Mültecinin Ötesinde” (Beyond Refugee), “Re:Coded”, “E-Bursum”, “Kapgel Dükkanı”, “ESP Kelime Hazinesi” (ESP Vocabulary) and “Beni Yolda Tut” (Keep Me On Track).
Among these applications, "Beyond Refugee" serves to reach the correct information and the correct terminology about the refugees; "Re: Coded" serves to share the teaching materials and the learnings of the young people who participated in the coding training, "E-Bursum" helps to enable online access to scholarship information, "Kapgel Store" serves to access shops where orders can be placed online, "ESP Vocabulary" enables the students whose native language is not English to access online the vocabulary related to the field they are studying, and "Keeping Me On Track “ offers to set targets for the people on topics such as finance, nutrition, private life and fitness and to see the stages they have taken on their way to such targets.
Besides, during the training, young people also participated in Social Innovation Hackathon in Gender Equality, which was held in Istanbul in December 2017 and it was a first in Turkey of its kind. Young people completed with more than 60 developers, designers and entrepreneurs who developed technological and life-facilitating solutions for gender equality and they have created a project that was selected due to its potential to create the greatest impact. At the end of the Hackathon, the winner developed another application called "Safe-R" which is a mobile psychological counselling application that offers the women and girls who are experiencing any violence or harassment the option to hide their identities, if needed.
