6. WORKSHOP

Name: Let’s Create a Bridge: Leonardo Da Vinci 
Content: Students are asked to transform the concepts of “Mass and Weight”, a Science subject, and “Ratio and Proportion”, a Mathematics subject, into products through Computer Science, rather than remaining at a theoretical level.
Participant Group : Fifth Grade / 10.10-10.40

7. WORKSHOP

Name: Mass and Weight in Informatics ScienceÇ
Content: Students are asked to transform the concepts of “Mass and Weight”, a Science subject, and “Ratio and Proportion”, a Mathematics subject, into products through Computer Science, rather than remaining at a theoretical level.
Participant Group : Sixth Grade / 11.15-12.50

8. WORKSHOP

Name: History Come to Life! Anatolian and Mesopotamian Civilizations
Content: History begins with writing. Writing, in its most general definition, is a tool that allows the sounds coming out of the mouth, and therefore words, to be recorded by shaping them into visible and sometimes touchable signs, without the help of ears or gestures. Students are asked to create cuneiform models, invented by the Sumerians in 3200 BC, used by Anatolian and Mesopotamian civilizations, on ceramic clay. With this workshop, it is aimed for our students to understand the history and culture of civilizations, create products and exhibit their products.
Participant Group : Fifth Grade / 14.30-15.10

9. WORKSHOP

Name: Let’s Mobilize DNA with Gel Electrophoresis
Content: Application of horizontal gel electrophoresis of DNA and explanation of the gel electrophoresis mechanism.
Participant Group : Eighth Grade / 09.30-10.30
