Since the 1994-95 academic year, volunteer Bilkent students have been running free computer courses for local high school students. Each year has seen the program expand, with over 250 high-schoolers taught by 21 volunteers at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in 1999-2000. On April 30, the high school students who had completed the advanced course in Web Page Design and Computer-Aided Presentation gave demonstrations of their project work. The 32 students, from Yeşilöz and Esenevler High Schools in Altındağ and Nahit Menteşe and Niğbolu High Schools in Mamak, presented, in groups, such subjects as "The Underwater World", "Antalya", "Education in Turkey", and "Cancer" through the medium of computers. The response from the audience of family and teachers was overwhelmingly positive. The high school students rounded off the presentations by thanking the program coordinator Nermin Fenmen, Chair, CAA/CAD.

The awarding of certificates for the course subsequently took place at ceremonies held at the Altındağ and Mamak high schools on May 5. On May 8, volunteer students from Bilkent will be recognized for their efforts with certificates presented by Rector Prof. Ali Doğramacı at a lunch-time ceremony at the A La Carte Restaurant.
