“Really excited to see whats going on a Twin Science Workshop. The children are all buzzing. They are all really excited of what they are doing. I think this is the future.” Magoo Giles (Founder & Principal, Knightsbridge School)
In January, 2020 we organized a workshop in cooperation with Knightsbridge School in London. The whole workshop was centered around various fields of STEAM. With students of Knightsbridge School, we designed robotics projects with Twin Science Kits and LEGO. We learned how a self-driving car works and discovered autonomous systems.
What did we do?
We gathered with the brilliant students of Knightsbridge School. We met curious minds which were eager to solve the problems of the world. When kids first learned that they will design an autonomous car, they were a little bit nervous thinking that they cannot manage to build such technology. After the workshop, they couldn’t believe that they designed these cars in a few hours.
Using the Twin Autonomous Car Kit, it is very easy to make your own self-driving car. As groups of 4-5 students, we first discovered the modules and LEGO pieces and understood the science behind their function. Then, we built up the structure of the car with the help of instructions and our intuitions. Each time, we tried if it works and changed the structure accordingly. Kids loved the idea of trial and error. After completing the structure, it was the time for design! Students personalized their cars and put them on the floor. It was a very exciting moment for kids to see that their cars move without crashing anywhere.
What did we learn?
Besides the technology and the science behind the self driving cars, kids developed an understanding of teamwork. Each member of the group took a significant role in the making of the car. They all valued both their contribution and other members’ contributions to the project. They experienced a sharing culture where they help one another with their best practices.
The barrier they have in their minds which is the idea that they cannot easily build these high technologies was removed at the end of the day. They were more hopeful to create better technologies for the sake of the world. They discovered how signals, DC motors and ultrasonic sensors work. In addition to this, they practiced coding and learned the basics of programming with Twin Coding Module.
“Coming to Twin Science workshop children are really engaged. They are really enjoying their new STEM activity.” Katie Donkor (Head of Digital Learning, Knightsbridge School)
Both the kids and we as the Twin Science team enjoyed this workshop a lot. We thank Knightsbridge School for their contribution to our goal of spreading the joy of science. We know that these students are going to be the change makers of the future. Hope to see them soon again!

“There is AI or Machine Learning in so many of the most popular websites, apps, and online tools – including the ones kids love! To understand, and to be safe in the modern world it’s so important for kids to know how computers can learn. It was great to be invited to join the Who Wants to Be a Twinner show and help the kids explore the world of AI in such a fun way.” Brendan Hills (Customer Engineer, Google Cloud)
With the announcement of the global pandemic COVID19, many of the schools were closed all over the world. The children’s education was suspended in many places. At this time, as Twin we had the responsibility to contribute kids’ growth as much as possible. Thus, we started our STEM QUEST SHOWs in cooperation with Creative Futures Imperial College London and Royal Academy of Engineering. Every week, we welcomed kids from different countries and spent an hour on science.
Who Wants to be a Twinner?
The idea of STEM QUEST was to serve kids’ different fields of science with fun for an hour. We asked them the right questions so that they can discover the answers themselves. Although there was a Q&A period, the main idea was never a competition. We paid high attention to make sure that kids see this show as a funny lecture rather than a race.
We conducted 12 episodes of STEM QUEST SHOW. We welcomed kids from Nigeria, United Kingdom, Turkey, Ghana, United States of America, United Arab Emirates and many more as our co-hosts. In each episode, we had 200 students joining the session from the live chat besides the co-hosts joining the session directly from zoom. We gifted our robotic art kits to kids joining from the chat. It was wonderful to see their excitement.
We had questions from various fields of STEAM such as arts, space, music, animals and etc. Kids were amazed about space and how a life would be there! They loved figuring out which animal is doing camouflage in the pictures we show. We also talked about activities on our free mobile app Twing in the show. Afterwards, they conducted these experiments at home and shared with us. We learned together, we created together and we had so much fun.
Our team worked to find the funniest and most suitable questions for the kids between 8-13 but we were not alone! Thanks to our dream partners Mr. Sunday, Kamini, Vargini and volunteers from Google, we came up with a different content each show. Volunteers from Google shared their work and view of computer programming as well as artificial intelligence. Their knowledge and perspective of life inspired kids a lot. Their support all the way through is highly appreciated.
What’s Next?
We know you all are waiting for the next season of STEM QUEST SHOW. It is coming soon! If you want to join the upcoming season as a co-host send us an email ([email protected]).

Twin Science has been spreading the joy of science and coding with science sets. Also, we are willing to use social media to encourage kids with challenges and competitions. The more we see the enthusiasm of science in the posts that Twinners share, the more we force each other to develop twin sets.
Today we have a curious ambassador to discover Twin Sets in his own Youtube Channel. Welcome to Robin’s Fun Playtime! If you like toys, games and science experiment, you’ve come to the right place. This is Robin and, he is six years old. He loves creating and doing things together. Also, he enjoys making videos and sharing them with the audience. In videos, you will see him and his daddy do lots of unboxing and toy reviews, gadgets review, fun and educational science experiments and pretend play. They are so excited to start a YouTube video for exploration of Twin Coding and Curiosity Sets.
In this video, Robin is going to unbox and review two of our robotics kits. These kits are compatible with each other and LEGO building blocks. Curiosity kit is the starter kit to STEM and suitable for age group 7 to 12. The Coding kit is suitable for age group 8 to 13 and includes all the essentials for children to grasp the fundamentals of coding and develop programming skills.
Technology and Education fair Bett brings together over 800 leading companies, 103 exciting new EdTech initiatives and over 34,000 exhibitors. They meet here to find inspiration and discuss the future of education from more than 146 countries in the global education community, and also see how technology and innovation contribute to the development of educators and students.
As the Twin team, which aims to teach children by entertaining science, we participated in the Bett Show, which was launched in Excel London on January 22 – 25 this year. At the same time, we were selected for the finals in the Bett Awards with the Braille Twin sets we developed for the visually impaired kids this year. The results were announced at the award ceremony last night (evening of January 22). There are even such a large and at a global platform to represent Turkey as a team we are very excited, the joy of success was added to our excitement. As Twin Science and Robotics, we have won the prize in the field of Special Solutions for Education with the Twin, suitable for the use of the Visually Impaired Kids.
As Twin Co-Founder and CEO Asude Altıntaş said, “We dream of raising generations that know their own and develop their own technology with Twin sets.”
Currently, we have robotic sets in 6 different concepts such as robotic art, aviation, and autonomous car. Children can build and code their own robots. Children with sufficient financial status can also buy these sets. We also deliver it to the most disadvantaged children within the scope of the Science Movement project we did with YGA and the Ministry of National Education.
The Place of Twin in Accessible Education
Twin is an educational and entertaining science set of specially designed experiments. The Twin Science kit contains electronic modules combined with magnets and specially designed, functional, do-it-yourself experiments. The Twin Science kit is designed by YGA graduate engineers and designers; As part of YGA’s Science Movement to Anatolia project, it was developed for children to understand and love everything around them with science.
Twin; In all these design and construction stages, it has made it a goal to realize the principles of Accessible Education step by step. While each kit reveals different skills of children, it is not forgotten that each child has different skills and speed of understanding. The Twin team, who knows that every child is not born under the same conditions and believes that every child has the right to access science, robotics, technology and art, supports sending Twin Science Sets to the most needed village schools with each purchased science set.
Recently, Twin Science created a special design for the Visually Impaired students to benefit from the Twin kits in their kits. In this design, the part functions normally expressed in 4 different colors are written using the Braille alphabet on the plastic parts placed under the modules for these special children. In fact, this was the main difference that distinguished these kits from others. Children will be able to develop any project they want, as in other kits, to the extent of their imagination.
