Twin Science is proud to have a longstanding partnership with Microsoft, collaborating on various initiatives that drive growth and make a positive impact. Microsoft has provided invaluable support through this dynamic alliance, sharing knowledge and offering technological tools.
One notable collaboration involved the utilization of Twin Science kits in a STEM workshop organized together with the Parilti – Support for Blind Children Association. This powerful initiative allowed children to develop communication and problem-solving skills, engage in robotics and coding, and ignite their love for science.
“It is crucial to spark passion for science in the hearts of our children from a young age. We are gathered here today with this exact purpose. 76 children joined us today, with half of them being children of Microsoft employees and the other half being our visually impaired friends from the Parilti – Support for Blind Children Association. With the guidance of YGA (Young Guru Academy) and their teachers, they have actively participated in this project, where they learned and created their own projects using Twin STEM Kits. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this remarkable partnership.”

“At Microsoft Turkey, we strive to foster inclusive initiatives that encourage participation from all individuals, leveraging ideas generated by our employees. In line with this objective, we have joined forces with YGA and Parilti – Support for Blind Children Association, where we brought together children and successfully conducted a meaningful collaborative activity.”
Deputy GM at Microsoft Turkey
“Today, the children of Microsoft employees joined hands with visually impaired children from the Parilti – Support for Blind Children Association, and together, they participated in a highly successful event at the Twin Science Festival organized by YGA. Through the implementation of cutting-edge technology, we were able to create an inclusive and empathetic environment for disabled individuals in our society. This initiative enables visually impaired children to commence their educational journey from kindergarten alongside their peers. The Twin STEM workshop held today serves as a concrete example of this inclusivity. Rather than merely providing them with fish, we equipped these children with the skills to revolutionize the fishing industry, utilizing technology as their ally.”
