Mobile Mathematics Museum, that aims to reach 45 thousand people between ages 6-18, brought together children in container city in Nizip district of Gaziantep. Syrian students who followed the lectures about mathematics with interest, participated in various activities organized for them and watched cartoons on the giant screen set up in the city.

They learn mathematics through exploring

Yunus Emre Institute President Şeref Ateş visited the container city with a delegation including University of Jerusalem Dean of Public Health Motasem Hamdan and faculty members, to follow the activities on site and to make inspections. The delegation, welcomed by the District Governor Kemal Şahin and camp administrators, visited the schools where children are educated and received information about the services provided to Syrians.

İnstitute President Ateş who issued a statement, marked that they aim for students to like science and to teach them analytical thinking with Mobile Mathematics Museum, also said that they give priority to Syrian children living in camps in Turkey. Noting that after visiting the temporary shelters in Turkey,  Mathematics Museum will travel abroad, Ateş spoke as follows: "Until now, Mathematics Museum has reached 10 thousand students in areas allocated in various destinations. Here our students learn mathematics through exploring and touching, and gain a new experience this way. Here, the children of our guests will also benefit from this activity. We bring the museum together with Syrian children with the aim of removing the traces the events in their country left on them and showing them that they can be productive with the guidance of science.”
