Article Techno-Philosophical and Techno-Pedagogical Implications of a Nonformal Technology and Design Education Model to Empower Youth: T3 Foundation's Deneyap Technology Workshops Program(Springer, 2026) Bulut, Mehmet Akin; Kocoglu, Merve; Bas, Fatma Ruveyda; Gulunay, Oksana; Birgili, BengiThis mixed-methods analysis explores the DENEYAP Technology Workshops program, launched by the T3 Foundation in 2017, which aims to develop scientific thinking and problem solving at the intersection of teaching technology skills and design thinking among 4th- and 9th- graders through nonformal learning. The study sought to investigate the program's techno-philosophical and techno-pedagogical formation. Data collection involved qualitative interviews with founders (n = 20) and program developers (n = 20). Additionally, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the program from multiple perspectives, lesson plans (n = 11) were analyzed to assess the curriculum, whereas classroom observations (n = 5) offered insights into instructional methods and learner engagement. The findings obtained through theories such as technology, pedagogy and content knowledge; technology philosophy; and design thinking reveal that the harmony between leaders' and instructional teams' visions, and the presence of a solid techno-philosophy in a technology and design education program lead to considerable success; the program's collaboration with official and unofficial institutions provides incalculable benefits; empathizing (needs analysis) stage at design cycle is crucial and yields critical insights; and the program fosters interest and competency in techno-scientific thinking skills among learners. Conversely, indicating areas in need of improvement in the program, continuous trainer professional development is pivotal; infrastructure and material provision are essential, and there is a lack of quality assurance in assessment practices, in other words, the test stage at design cycle. This study of the innovative, practical and skills-based program points to the critical role of nonformal learning in preparing the next generation for a technology-driven future through the intersection of technology and design education immersed in a strong and rigorous techno-philosophical and techno-pedagogical design.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Technology-Enhanced "gipsci" Approach in Developing Contexts Performs Well at Interest and Curiosity, Yet, Needs Reinforcing at Inquiry Level(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Birgili, Bengi; Bulut, Mehmet Akin; Gulunay, Oksana; Kocoglu, Merve; Bas, Fatma RuveydaNumerous studies explore inquiry in science centers, but technology-enhanced science centers' (TeSC) curricula remain relatively nascent. This mixed-methods study explores how the GiPSci model, a technology-enhanced science center program developed in-house by curriculum experts, supports learners' inquiry skills aligned with international standards. Data were collected through learners' products (n = 161), lesson observations (n = 20), train-the-trainer activities (n = 405), expert evaluations (n = 14), and interviews with trainers (n = 10). Findings reveal curiosity and interest scored higher than inquiry, highlighting the challenges of inquiry in tech-enhanced settings. Consensus among trainers, observations, and learners' products points to gaps in fostering inquiry skills in the TeSC program. To enhance GiPSci-like models, collaboration among program designers, trainers, and train-the-trainer providers is essential to better align the technology-enhanced science centers' program with inquiry-based learning.
