Our White Pigeon Scholar Vuslat Çetinkaya and Her Team Are at the Top in Ideathon 2024!

Among our Beyaz Güvercin scholarship recipients, Vuslat Çetinkaya, a student in the Visual Communication Design department, and her teammates İlsu Sunal, Sefa Kılıç, Bilal Berkan Malkoç and Fidan Cindoğlu, became one of the three teams prioritized among 85 teams in the Ideathon 2024 organized by the Game and Application Academy!

The project titled “CarreerVoyage” is a Unity game idea that addresses the topic of “Quality Education” from the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. With this game idea, in which they integrate artificial intelligence technologies, the team aims to offer an alternative solution to students who do not have access to adequate education and career support.

What is CareerVoyage?

CarreerVoyage is an artificial intelligence-supported simulation game developed with the Unity game engine. Players will start their education life by creating their own characters in this fun world with colorful graphics and will embark on different adventures that vary according to difficulty levels. They will see the paths they can follow while building their careers and will have a realistic interview experience. In this way, they will gain many skills that they can use in the future.

Mechanics:

1. Character Creation

The aim is to make the gaming experience more personal thanks to the different difficulty levels in the game. There are three levels: easy, medium and hard.
+ A player playing on easy level has more resources and time.
+ At the intermediate level, difficulties such as restriction of various resources and getting a part-time job are added.
+ A player playing on a difficult level will have to use her character’s capabilities more carefully.

2. Tasks

+ Players will not only manage their characters’ career journeys, but also their social lives, which have a significant impact on their journey.
+ The game will feature mini-games that support character development. These games will provide the player with an enjoyable experience while helping them earn resources.
+ In addition, characters will use their resources by balancing their private and academic lives with choice-based missions.
+ The experience and resources gained from these missions will provide an advantage to their characters in interviews.

3. Interview with Artificial Intelligence

How does the interview work?

+ In order to enter the interviews, the total score must reach a certain level.
+ Total score is calculated by participating in certain proportions of all parameters.
+ Different success conditions are sought for internships and job interviews.

How will artificial intelligence be trained?

The artificial intelligence trained with data collected under various headings will provide a realistic interview experience:

Interview training for real life:

+ The player can test herself in different scenarios by participating in multiple interviews.
+ You can get more practice by participating in the same interviews over and over again.
