Dubai Global Grad Show which has been organized since 2015, was attended by almost 100 schools form 45 countries this year. 150 projects were exhibited to a wide range of international audience via 3D models and short videos. The exhibition also became a global student meeting with a large attendance.
METU ID, invited for the third consecutive year, exhibited two projects. “Air Circle” by Selami Erdogan is a educative guidance kit for low-income families, in order for them to properly execute daily chest physiotherapy to their babies suffering from cystic fibrosis. “Blink” by Belfuğ Şener is medical device for home-use, designed to do medical observations and tests and facilitate patient-doctor communication.
