1. International Game Conference 2019

The play has an important place in the human development story with deeper effects than gender. We don't exaggerate if the time spent with games and toys is the key to success and happiness. We know that the life skills of those who have rich personal gaming stories are above average. In our tradition, where children are encouraged to study instead of spending time with games and toys, the importance of this issue is increasing. Human resources and in-service training have gained a new dimension in many sectors, notably education. In education processes, gamification is more helpful to overcome basic problems from individual program to learning disability. We could not be indifferent to this delightful and entertaining world where a new story was discovered that discovers the power of the game and the toy every day.
