The New Media Innovation course conducted within the Department of New Media and Communication was enriched by a distinguished guest from the field of digital entrepreneurship. Mahir Okay Çelik, Co-Founder of WasteLog, shared the establishment process of the digital initiative WasteLog, the chalenges encountered, and his entrepreneurial journey with our fourth-year students.

The event was moderated by Dr. Lecturer Nida Kahraman, a faculty member of the Department of New Media and Communication, and Aleyna Aysan Kaya, a fourth-year student of the department. Within the scope of the course, the concepts of innovation, digital entrepreneurship, and sustainability were discussed through the example of WasteLog.

This event enabled our fourth-year students to evaluate the processes of digital initiatives developed in new media environments—from the idea stage to implementation—through the firsthand experience of an industry representative. It also contributed to application-based learning outcomes by linking theoretical knowledge with sectoral practice and supporting critical thinking skills.
