Do not choose an opportunity that fails one gate
| Gate | Question | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility | Do age, grade, location and status fit? | Current call |
| Learning | Which real artefact or skill will develop? | Learner artefact |
| Sustainability | Are time, travel and total load manageable? | Weekly plan |
| Safety | How are data, health and child safety protected? | Consent and official channel |
30-DAY PLAN
Learning continues when applications are closed
Week 1 covers sources and eligibility, Week 2 a mini artefact, Week 3 feedback and safety, Week 4 a second version and application file.
Without an open call, the board prepares for the future; with an open call, add exact deadlines and owners.

COMPARISON WORKSHOP
Comparison workshop for 2026 Opportunities and Review Calendar
The 20 2026 opportunity record entries in this centre do not serve the same purpose. For example, Preparing for TEKNOFEST 2026 Competitions and DENEYAP Technology Workshops Application and Preparation Guide differ in age, preparation time, individual/team work and expected evidence. Sorting cards only by open or closed status is therefore insufficient.
Choose three candidates for a comparison exercise: Preparing for TEKNOFEST 2026 Competitions, DENEYAP Technology Workshops Application and Preparation Guide, TÜBİTAK 2204-B Middle-School Research Project Guide. For each, record eligibility, weekly time, travel or internet needs, required learner work, data-safety risks and post-application obligations. Do not punish an unknown field with a zero score; mark it to be verified.
In a second round, record the learner's genuine preference in a separate column. An opportunity that looks strong to an adult should not score highly if it relies on an unwanted mode of work, intensive travel or an unsustainable time burden. Learner preference also does not override official eligibility and safety.
Reopen the centre at month end. Update changed opportunities, carry closed calls into next-year preparation and select completed artefacts for the portfolio. The centre then operates as a monthly decision and production board rather than a random link list.
- Three candidates, one criteria table
- Unknown field = to be verified
- Learner voice separate from adult goals
- Monthly update of status, artefact and next review
MICRO QUIZ
Check opportunity selection
1. How is current status verified?
By checking date, call/guide version and application screen together on the official site.
2. How is an unknown condition recorded?
Do not guess; mark it to be verified and ask the institution.
3. Why store learner work by version?
To show real contribution, development, errors and the boundary of adult support.
4. Is a deadline recorded only as a date?
No; keep exact time, time zone, upload method and confirmation.
5. When should the 2026 Opportunities and Review Calendar page be revisited?
When a new announcement, result, date or learner artefact changes.
