Sports Recreation

Recreation is the activities of individuals to evaluate their spare time; activities that provide personal satisfaction. Sportive recreation, on the other hand, means using sport for pleasure and entertainment and dealing with different fields of sport. Most often, children are interested in sports fields, where they are guided by their parents. However, with sportive recreation activities, children are subjected to different sports branches; they can find the opportunity to progress in their field of interest and enjoyment. In addition, with these activities, children learn to enjoy sports; they form the infrastructure for a healthy life. Gifted children feel more comfortable in mental activities than in physical activities. The reason for this is that gifted children have a developmental pattern called asynchronous development; mental development comes first and physical development comes behind mental development. Gifted children who have high mental standards do not show much interest in sports activities because they think that they cannot reach these standards physically. This may cause them to determine a sedentary lifestyle and gain weight over time. In this workshop, many sports branches such as foot tennis, petanga, swimming, volleyball and basketball were brought together with children; balance-coordination, ability to act together with the group, decision-making and risk-taking skills will be emphasized and children will be encouraged to have fun and enjoy sports by throwing their energy away.

STEM

STEM is an interdisciplinary teaching approach that emerged from the needs of the 21st century. The concept of STEM consists of the initials of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines and ensures the integration of these fields in education. In its simplest definition, the aim of STEM is to provide students with a holistic perspective; to enable them to think multidimensionally and to take them to production. STEM studies are carried out in the most ideal way by carrying out project-based studies. STEM requires both knowledge of many different disciplines and the integration of this knowledge in line with a purpose. Gifted children prefer mentally challenging activities, and they mostly complain about the repetition of the same information in schools or normal education environments. While STEM challenges the child with the knowledge it requires in different fields, it also enables him to think at a higher level. In the age of science and technology, STEM is no longer just a discipline to us; It teaches thinking by considering all disciplines.

Robotics

With the robotics workshop, students are basically guided to think and learn. During the training period specified in the workshop, students will be informed about the parts and usage areas of robots, and then an infrastructure will be created for this area. Today, robots, which have become more influential especially in recent years, and even appear among the active elements of the future, have become one of the concepts that everyone, especially children, is curious about. Thanks to the technologies available in our workshop, children will be able to learn by seeing and having fun that the concepts they imagine in a technological sense can actually come true, how the robots that most children can think of abstractly until today are made, their production processes and how they are programmed. In the robotics lesson, where our students will enjoy, the robot will be defined, the importance of robotics will be discussed, many information such as where robots are used in the world and robot types are given, and the aim of the workshop is to equip students with robotics and make a difference among their peers. Within the scope of the course, ready-made sets or ardunio are used in line with the readiness of the students. The majority of gifted children are children who think analytically, are interested in technology and have the potential to create. In this workshop, by giving both hardware and software information about robots; It is aimed to increase the interest and knowledge of children in science and technology.

Children's Literature

Although children's literature is included in the concept of literature, it is a concept that needs a different definition in terms of its unique form and content features. Children's literature, starting from the kindergarten, constitutes the cornerstone of literacy. Both the selection of a work and activities that support reading are important in developing reading skills. Written works mediate the most perfect use of language. Bringing children together with the written works of different cultures will not only enable them to get to know that culture, but also support the strengthening of their literary aspects. Gifted students enjoy innovation and are constantly in search of new learning material. While literature offers them this chance; Children's literature connects them with the depth of literature much earlier through La fontane stories, Aesop's tales, mythological stories, epics. In addition to bringing a love of literature, value and culture, this workshop aims to develop high-level thinking skills and to gain reading and writing techniques. By making the student acquire the habit of reading a book by preparing Skimming (Speed reading to get the general idea), Scanning (Purpose reading) and Mind map related to the book; Creative writing skills will be supported by the integration of creative thinking techniques.

Drama

Drama is the expression of a thought with body language, movement and movement. In other words, drama; It is an education method that enables people to develop multi-dimensionally by putting themselves in the place of others, to take an active role in education and training, to express themselves, to increase their desire and desire for research, to be creative and to perceive life in a multifaceted way. Drama is one of the most effective educational methods in terms of 'learning by doing'. In this workshop where educational and creative drama are used together; warm-up and relaxation activities, pantomime and role-playing, improvisation, formation and evaluation stages are followed respectively. As gifted children's IQ increases, they experience difficulties in social relations; for this reason, this group often chooses to isolate itself from society. In this workshop, children will be provided with a comfortable environment through drama activities, and awareness will be raised on their ability to recognize emotions, look at events from a different perspective, empathize, and effective communication skills.

Astronomy

It is not always possible to predict to which disciplines the impact of a scientific discovery or development will reach, and which technological device will provide the design in the future. As a matter of fact, there are many technologies that have been discovered for space studies at CERN and other centers, but that we use in daily life. For example, in order to simply make long-wavelength observations, Radio Astronomers led the communication development of radio receivers and satellites, leading to the development of satellite positioning and advanced navigation (GPS) technology. The way to reach the basic properties of stars is possible by examining the light coming from them and analyzing their spectra. Again, high resolution imaging techniques developed against this need; Today, it is used in the medical field for detailed examination, from cell development observations to imaging of a patient's internal organs and non-surgical examination (such as MRI, Doppler, Endoscopy). Although it is possible to multiply such examples, astronomy gifted children; Since their abstract thinking skills develop early, they are one of the areas they are most interested in. Dwarf planet, mars, black holes are exciting for them as unexplored and intriguing topics. In this workshop, which we will open with an introduction to astronomy and basic physical concepts; How does our sun provide its energy under the sun title? How long will it warm us up? How was the solar system formed? What are the differences between planets and stars? Why couldn't Jupiter become a star? How many planets have been found outside the Solar System? We will be looking for answers to the questions "Is there life in the universe?" Under the heading of the formation and evolution of stars; Double stars and their properties; Do stars are born, grow, and die like living things? White dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes; What would life be like if we were in a neutron star? Why can't we observe black holes? We will take a closer look at supernova explosions and types of supernovas and Galaxies. In addition, in this workshop, we will have the chance to examine the Sun by getting acquainted with the Sun telescope, and we will also have the opportunity to photograph the Sun at different times of the day and fit it into different frames.
