Teach Children Computer Coding for a Better Future

Dear donor,

The Kodlamaca Project aims to teach algorithmic thinking through play to primary and high school students, encourage creativity, develop technology usage skills, and raise productive individuals.

The courses are given at three different levels; face to face or online. For face to face courses CYDD branches or Activity Centers provide the computer classrooms; to the online courses the students join with their own computers given with the technology support project.

Within the coming school year, we aim to work with 500 students at the three different levels.

General statistics for the past two years: (2023-2025)

• Number of Implementing Branches/Activity Centerss:                    33
• Number of Participating Students:                                                 488
• Number of Students Participating within the GDY Project             328
• Total Target Audience Reached:                                                    816
• Total Workshop Duration (Hours):                                                  657
• Number of Workshop Facilitators:                                                    99
• Number of Facilitator Training Sessions:                                            5
• Number of Facilitator Training Participants:                                    102
• Total Duration of Facilitator Trainings (Hours):                                  12            

Thank you for supporting our project.

Kind regards,

Dear donor,

As you already know the Kodlamaca project aims to teach students the techniques of writing code through games, encourage creativity by having them create designs; to expand students' visions by increasing their interest and love for science, to develop their presentation skills in front of the public, and to strengthen their awareness of social solidarity.

Each school year we encourage new CYDD branches to set up coding classrooms to provide algorithmic thinking to 5th, 6th and 7th grade students in public schools and to teach the use of digital technologies, which are necessary for efficiency and competition in the 21st century.

The project has three stages.  In the first two stages ‘code.org’ and ‘Scratch’ are used to teach algorithm logic and programming language with fun applications. As the third stage of the project, mobile applications was incorporated into the project with the “appinventor method”

This year  Urla, Güzelbahçe, Izmir and  Sakarya CYDD branches continue the courses with 100 students and 15 trainer instructors in all three levels.

With your support we can continue to expand our reach and provide more opportunities to students to learn and grow.We are grateful for your dedication to our cause and for believing in the importance of investing in the education of our youth.

 Kind regards
