Dear Donor,
The Kodlamaca Project aims to develop algorithmic thinking skills in primary, middle, and high school students, encourage creativity, strengthen digital literacy, and raise individuals who not only consume technology but also produce it.
The workshops are delivered at three different levels, each consisting of two semesters, either face to face or online. For face-to-face workshops, computer classrooms are provided by CYDD branches and Activity Centers (ÇEM), while students attending online workshops participate using the computers provided through the Technology Support Project.
This year, we updated our workshop content and created a project-based, creative, and AI-supported structure across all levels.
For 4th–5th graders:
1st Semester: 7 weeks Unplugged Coding
2nd Semester: 10–14 weeks Code.org Express 2025 + 2 weeks artificial intelligence applications
For 6th–7th–8th graders:
1st Semester: 10 theoretical + 2 project weeks of Scratch + 2 weeks artificial intelligence applications
2nd Semester: 10 theoretical + 2 project weeks of App Inventor + 2 weeks artificial intelligence applications
For 9th graders:
1st Semester: 10–12 weeks Arduino-based Robotics Coding (Tinkercad & mBlock) + 2 weeks artificial intelligence applications
2nd Semester: 5 weeks Introduction to Python + 5 weeks artificial intelligence applications
Additionally, the updated figures for the Fall Semester are as follows:
