Design for Climate (İklim İçin Tasarla) is a three-year research project funded by TÜBİTAK and led by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Delen.

The project examines how design work is taught in middle schools. Students often produce original ideas that are never developed into working products, and questions of cost, environmental impact and durability tend to fall outside the scope of classroom design projects. The project brings these questions into the design process and uses climate change as its subject matter.

Its outputs include an activity book for classroom use, a training programme for teachers, an artificial intelligence application for students, and a series of podcasts and videos. Assoc. Prof. Gökhan İnce and his students designed the artificial intelligence assistants used in the project materials.
