Ten awards were presented at the Civil Society Awareness Awards in the fields of human rights, art and culture, education, women, social responsibility, humanitarian aid, animal rights, environment, science and technology, and youth and sports.
“Girls Coding,” one of RobinCode.org’s projects for early computer science education, received the Science and Technology Award. The award was presented by Turkey’s Prime Minister at the time, Binali Yıldırım.
The award-winning project took place in June 2016 and aimed to help accelerate Turkey’s digital transformation while supporting the development of future female engineers. A total of 100 girls aged 9–11 participated in four groups of 25 at the General Electric Turkey Innovation Center.
