Turkish companies launch educational initiatives for children

Danone Turkey has introduced a Danone Milk Factory experience area at KidZania Istanbul. The initiative allows children to explore the milk production process by taking on the role of food engineers. Participants engage in activities such as measuring pH and temperature levels and observing the packaging process to learn about the science and labor behind food production.

Separately, Türkiye İş Bankası has launched Bilim Fabrikası (Science Factory), a free digital platform developed in collaboration with Imona Technologies. Designed for primary and secondary school students, the platform offers interactive content in subjects including mathematics, circuit design, chemistry, biology, and agriculture. The system uses a gamified approach where students complete tasks and earn points to contribute to their city's score in a nationwide competition. The content was developed based on feedback from the Teacher Network, an initiative by the Education Reform Initiative (ERG), to support classroom learning.
