In 2024, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) Scientist Support Department (BİDEB) organized the University Students Research Project Competitions code 2242 for the 12th time. This year, students from the Computer Engineering Department at Atatürk University once again distinguished themselves.

Jury members who are experts in their respective disciplines evaluated project applications submitted in 2024 to the competition organized within the framework of TEKNOFEST, the world's largest Aviation, Space, and Technology Festival. The final competition was open to a total of 90 projects across nine disciplines, as determined by the preliminary evaluation.
