TRACE is a student-led project in Kazanlı that aims to protect loggerhead sea turtles through technology and environmental education. Students designed Arduino-based light-reduction systems, created noise maps from sound data, built a turtle sculpture from marine waste, and shared awareness via digital stories and a public exhibition. The project links science, art, and local action for a healthier sea.
