STEM Approach: All our training sessions are conducted based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines through hands-on experiments and observations. This enables participants to enhance their interest and skills in STEM fields by experiencing practical workshop activities alongside theoretical knowledge.
Participant-Centered Focus: All activities are designed to ensure active learning and participant engagement. Participants take an active role in projects and workshops, acquiring critical skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork.
Multidisciplinary Perspective: Bringing together participants from diverse disciplines promotes a multidisciplinary approach, enabling them to gain perspectives from different fields. This integration of knowledge and skills from various areas allows participants to generate more innovative and creative solutions.
21st Century Skills: Various education and workshop sessions are organized to equip participants with skills necessary for the 21st century. These skills include communication, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy.
Career Awareness and Guidance: Vocational awareness and guidance programs are conducted for high school students. These programs help students explore different career fields and make informed vocational choices based on their interests.
Sustainability and Impact: All our activities are planned with a focus on sustainability and impact. This ensures that the center's activities have a long-term effect and provide greater benefits to society.
Mucitpark aims to be a leading organization in science and technology in Turkey and Europe, assisting people of all ages in enhancing their knowledge and skills in these fields.
Practical Training and Dedicated Instructor Team: It's crucial for us that the education in our workshops is hands-on. Therefore, we plan to have at least 1 instructor for every 6 students, with some classes having a ratio of 3-4 students per instructor. This ensures each student receives optimal support.
Expert and Experienced Instructor Team: Our instructors are composed of expert and experienced engineers in their fields. They reinforce theoretical knowledge with practical applications to ensure students fully understand the subject matter.
Assistant Instructors and Volunteer Educators: In addition to our expert instructors, we have experienced assistant instructors and university students who volunteer in these fields. Volunteer educators are selected from candidates who have completed their education successfully over 2 terms and become suitable for teaching. In the classroom, assistant instructors and volunteer educators provide individual attention to students and assist them during practical applications.
Reduced Class Sizes for Younger Age Groups: For students in younger age groups, we limit class sizes to a maximum of 18 students. This allows for more individual attention and creates a more productive learning environment.
Benefits for Participating University Students: Specialization in their fields: Volunteer educators have the opportunity to specialize in their fields through the training they receive over 2 terms. Development of pedagogical skills: Volunteer educators improve their pedagogical skills by serving as assistant instructors in class and assisting other students. Gaining experience: Volunteering as an educator provides university students with valuable experience that can enhance their resumes and provide an advantage in job applications. Socialization: Volunteering as an educator allows students to socialize by interacting with students from different age groups. Developing a sense of volunteerism: Volunteering as an educator helps students develop a sense of social responsibility and volunteerism.
Through these opportunities offered in our technical workshop, we contribute to both the personal and professional development of university students while maintaining the highest quality of education.
