The first launch of Dart Society took place on November 26, 2021, in the classroom EF-106 at Boğaziçi University North Campus, under the name of “Coding 101”. In our first organization attended by about 40 people, we gave a seminar to the participants that showed the importance of coding in the digital world and the main differences between coding languages. In the presentation; basic information was included such as the working mechanisms of the hardware of the computer, the exit point of binary codes, etc.

With the support of the participants of the seminar, which was thought to be a one-time event at first, it turned into Python lessons. We provided our members the sufficient knowledge to start their programming journey with the Python lessons that we gave online in Koç University classes for about 2 months and totaled 25 hours. Our community, shaped by educational content such as Arduino 101, Finance-Psychology, and Design 101 as well as coding training, continued to work with such popular seminars that facilitate adaptation to the digital world. Our educational diversity, branching in this way, has led us to be able to analyze the personal interests of our members more clearly and to contribute to their further development.

As a result of the effort to transform the training received into a concrete product, the “Warm-up Projects”, which were presented on 6 March 2022, emerged. Thanks to this event, our members, who experienced the project management stages, contributed to the transformation of theoretical knowledge into practice.

As we continued our training and project development organizations, the number of our members and our diversity started to increase. We continued our works without slowing down together with our members from Boğaziçi, Koç, Sabancı, Türk-Alman, Yıldız Teknik, İstanbul, ODTÜ universities.  While dealing with this kind of work in the community, we made sincere friendships and organized “Dart Night” where we met our members face to face to have fun together. While doing all of these, we took the stereotype of learning while having fun out of its classical perception and embedded it in the practical foundations of our community.

DartApp, which was developed to provide coordination between the coding team led by Deniz Alan and the members, was uploaded to Google Play and App Store on May 9, 2021.

With the end of the school term of our members, the Dart Summer Team’22, consisting of 22 people, was established on June 8th. Together with this team, we started to work for the Dart Society to have a better foundation. We divided the Summer Team’22 into three parts: Content Marketing Team, Web Development Team, and Design Team.

On June 12, 2022, with the participation of a member who is from Boğaziçi University to our team; Dart Society has made significant progress in transferring its potential to productive areas. Increasing interaction among team members resulted in the production of documentation on the Community Charter, Board Task Content, Logo, and Design IDs. On…(date) with the general assembly held, along with the professionalizing management staff, the first term founding board members started their duties with the election held by the active members. During the recession period experienced by the community, they carried out detailed studies on the creation of highly sophisticated and intellectual products on Web Development, Social Media, and Content.

On August 1, 2022, we launched our dart-society.com site…
