About Us

Devrecik began in 2017 as a one-classroom weekend workshop that electronics engineer Tolga Sarıkaya opened in Ataşehir. The aim was simple: to help children not just use technology but understand how it works and bring their own ideas to life. Today we have 4 classrooms, a 3D printing workshop, 6 instructors and nearly 300 students each term.

Project-based learning

Rather than following ready-made instructions, our lessons start from a problem: How can the robot carry the cube? How can the plant be watered at the weekend? Children first come up with ideas and sketch them, then build, code and test. Every attempt that fails becomes data for the next design. As a result, students learn not only to write code but to think like engineers.

An age-appropriate curriculum

Our curriculum has five steps: screen-free coding (ages 5-6), block-based coding and robotics (7-8), Scratch, LEGO robotics and micro:bit (9-12), Arduino, Python and 3D design (11-15), and AI and the competition team (13-15). At the end of each term every student receives a written progress report and a recommendation for the next step.

Child safety

• All electronics work is done at 5 volts or less; no work is done with mains electricity.
• 3D printers are enclosed; the soldering station is ventilated and used only under instructor supervision.
• Student accounts are opened with parental consent, and no child’s personal information appears in projects.
• All our instructors hold a clean criminal record certificate and a first aid certificate.
