Devrecik works with 14 schools in Ataşehir, Kadıköy and Ümraniye. We offer three models depending on what a school needs; in all of them the kits, instructors and curriculum are provided by the academy.
1. In-school robotics and coding club
Club groups of 12-16 students during one lesson a week or an after-school study period. The club programme is adapted to the school’s year groups, and a project exhibition is held at the school at the end of the term. Students can enter the academy’s Mini Robot League as a school team if they wish.
2. Termly STEM workshops
Intensive 1-5 day workshops for science weeks, project days or the period before the mid-year break. Themes such as bridge design, a smart city model or a micro:bit weather station are linked to the school’s science and maths curriculum.
3. Teacher training
Sixteen hours of hands-on training for IT, science and primary teachers: block-based coding, micro:bit, basic robotics and integrating them into lesson plans. Teachers receive a certificate of attendance and a set of ready-made lesson plans at the end.
The process
- An online introductory meeting with the school leadership
- Year-group and needs analysis, and a proposal
- An information letter and consent forms for parents
- Programme launch and an end-of-term report
