Games are one of the most important tools for keeping the motivation of children alive. When children spend time by having fun, their interest is very high. So, active participation and teaching through games are very important for permanent learning. Thanks to our animation courses, we aim to make educators spend time by having fun with children in a teaching environment. Both teachers using animation techniques and their students can have more enjoyable and meaningful time. All these enhance the quality of the education process.
Globally, girls are not attracted to the world of technology, and boys too. It is often due to a lack of referents or lack of work in these areas when they decide what they like. Robotics and programming have evolved and there are many easy-to-use products that we can integrate into classrooms. Thanks to robotics, we can experience scientific concepts and create our own knowledge. We work with the scientific thought, the resolution of challenges, trial and error, management failure, creativity, teamwork, communication, time management,…It is not the solution for everything, but it is one more tool that interests and involves students and that we can use to evaluate concepts and skills.
A need and profile analysis will be sent to participants to determine the needs and profile of participants before the course. This form of participant profile is very important for us to see the level of knowledge and awareness about the topic, the needs of participants and expectations According to the information obtained from this form, our program is designed. Before our participants come to the country where the course will be implemented, they must make the necessary preparations for the topic. We will send to participants an information pack which has the necessary information to not to face problems during the course and other times. This package includes all logistical information (weather, currency, airport transfer, course location details, contact information, etc.) and preparations for participants for the course. In the course organization team, we have a guide for the groups for practical arrangements and the problems.
Our course is mostly conducted by non-formal education methods. Participants are actively involved in our creative drama activities, and participate in the activity in abundance and learn by having fun. We don’t like power point presentation based courses. We have materials, our body as the most important instruments and creativity. Group and individual works and experiential learning based studies are carried out.
