🚀 Learn. Build. Pitch.

Welcome to AI 101 by YTU Startup House & Meta, part of AI Builders Türkiye!

<aside> 👋

AI 101 is a free, selective, four module online training series for university students in Türkiye. Whether you code, design, or think in business models, this is your chance to build a solid understanding of generative AI and discover what you can create with it. And this is just the beginning: the journey ends with a selective Student Hackathon weekend at YTU Startup House.

🎯 Your Mission

In four evening sessions, you will learn how generative AI actually works, how it changes what a small team can build, and how to turn an idea into a prototype using Meta's AI model families and the AI at Meta product suite. No prior experience with large language models is required: Module 1 starts from zero.

ℹ️ About

Meta, a global leader in AI and social technologies, teams up with YTU Startup House, the entrepreneurship hub of Yildiz Technical University and one of Türkiye’s leading university-based innovation centers. At hackathon, we are creating a space where students can experiment, build, and transform their ideas into working products and startups.
