ICSE FACTORY
(ICSE BİLİM FABRİKASI)

As Teachers First Foundation, we are excited to announce that we have entered into a strategic collaboration with the EU-funded ICSE Science Factory, which aims to address the gaps in science education and literacy, in partnership with Hacettepe University Stem&Maker Lab. This collaboration aligns well with our core mission to promote educator wellbeing and continuous learning. ICSE’s focus on building strong cross-sector partnerships and community engagement strongly supports our extensive networking and targeted trainings for educators in Turkey and abroad. Through our partnership, we are not only raising standards in science education, but also contributing to the well-being of teachers through mentoring programmes and activities to solve real problems in society. This collaboration not only enriches our existing work but also increases our capacity to make a holistic and sustainable impact on the education ecosystem.
