Knowledge Contest Mixes Kids, Fun and Education
Last week, a knowledge contest was organized by the Voluntary Education Project of the Bilkent University Social Awareness Projects (TDP) at Mithat Çoruh Auditorium. Seven primary schools - Ege, Gazeteci Hasan Tahsin, Köşklüdere, Mamak, Nedim İnal, Özkent Akbilek, and Polisamca - took part.
In the first of two elimination rounds, Ege, Nedim İnal, Özkent Akbilek, and Polisamca went head to head, with the remaining schools taking part in the the second segment. Nedim İnal and Gazeteci Hasan Tahsin won a spot in the finals with their performance. Mamak got the highest points between the second place schools from both rounds, and therefore also moved on to the finals. Nedim İnal ended up winning overall with Mamak in second.
During the breaks, volunteers and students played music and had fun together. It was the first time this event was held and it proved to be a wonderful experience for all involved.
