As part of the SETAP (Sustainable Technological Adaptation Project), carried out in collaboration between the E-Commerce Department of Yeditepe University and Ataşehir Municipality, this week’s workshop offered children an engaging and developmental experience. The “Brain Exercise Workshop” was successfully completed, featuring an enjoyable session filled with interactive activities designed to support children’s attention, memory, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills.
Led by Psychologist and Yeditepe HR Coordinator Alev Çolak, the workshop encouraged active participation through fun mental games, concentration-building exercises, and teamwork-oriented activities. Throughout the session, a dynamic learning environment was created to support not only cognitive development but also self-confidence, communication, and social interaction skills.
In today’s world, where children are constantly surrounded by intense digital stimulation and may struggle to maintain focus for extended periods, workshops like these play an important role in strengthening mental resilience. Through gamified exercises and interactive activities, children became more actively engaged in the learning process and had the opportunity to recognize and improve their thinking abilities. This experience emphasized not only the transfer of knowledge but also learning through active participation and experience.
From a parental perspective, this workshop provides an environment that contributes not only to children’s academic growth but also to essential life skills. Abilities such as attention management, patient thinking, analytical reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving help children develop stronger foundations both in school and in their social relationships. These gains support children in becoming more conscious and effective learners.
The experiences gained during the workshop also translate directly into real-life situations. Skills such as problem-solving, thoughtful decision-making, and effective collaboration within a group help children respond more positively and constructively to everyday challenges. In this regard, the Brain Exercise Workshop represents a valuable long-term contribution to both children’s mental and social development.
This interactive workshop, where children had the opportunity to both learn and enjoy themselves, once again highlighted SETAP’s sustainable and inclusive educational approach.
