On the 31st of March the second ever Ankara Mini Maker Faire was held. As usual, I was there and I participated with my projects like a polar-coordinate drawing robot, a Raspberry Pi powered TweetBox which I had improved from last time and some of my designs like the fillet gauge and more. This time […]
What else can I say: the first featured Maker Faire in Turkey and I was a part of it. This past weekend was the official Maker Faire Istanbul 2017, located in the historic Haydarpasa Train Station in Kadikoy, hosting the first ever featured Maker Faire in Turkey and the 3rd annual Maker Faire to be […]
Last week I attended the Ankara Maker Conference which I was kindly invited by Tepav and Geleckhane. It was a meeting focused on the situation of the Maker of Movement in Turkey, more specifically Ankara, and how it can be spread across the city. As one of the participants and the only kid there, I […]
On the weekend of 7th of october, in Konya, I was invited to a science festival, kind of in the form of a maker faire. I was there with my friends who I had met in Maker Faire Ankara and their company, in the aim of promoting the technology of 3D printing which is rather […]
While at the Bursa AstroFest (which I wrote a post here) I had the chance to meet two teachers who had come from a tiny village school from the small city of Kahramanmaraş.

I also was one of the participants there and I showed the technology of 3D printing which is […]
On the 28th of February, it was the first official Maker Faire held in Ankara. It was a really small organisation when compared to the one I went to in Bay Area last year, but the Maker Faire here attracted much more attention then I had expected. Even tough the ‘Maker Movement’ is almost unknown […]
Last year me and my dad built a Prusa i3 together and later on donated it to my school. I wanted to create a Maker Club in school that could be accessible by all and would be used and enjoyed. Unfortunately, this didn’t work out very well last year. This year tough, with the help […]
A few months ago I had won the MakerEd Challenge and as a prize I earned a Makerbot Replicator 5th Gen. After quite a bit of time trying to get it to Turkey, it is finally here, kind of. Of course it got stuck in the customs. And worse news, I get a free prize, […]
In Maker Faire Bay Area 2016, while I was talking with someone they asked me where I am from and just as I said ‘Turkey’ there were two people walking past my booth and they turned out to be Turkish. One of them was from the biggest newspaper in Turkey and after a short talk […]
