Organized by Bursa Metropolitan Municipality to make science easily accessible and to instill a love for science in the youth, MobilFest held in Hüdavendigar Park offered the citizens a fun-filled journey into the world of science. Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, aiming for Bursa to be recognized not only for its historical and cultural richness, geographical beauty, and advanced industry but also for its appreciation of technology and science, hosted an event full of science. MobilFest, themed ‘space and astronomy’ and hosted by the Science and Technology Center, provided the people of Bursa with a science-filled night at Hüdavendigar Park. The festival, which attracted great interest from the public, offered participants entertaining experiences such as sky observation, science demonstrations, storytelling, discussions, and sports activities. Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mustafa Bozbey, along with the Deputy General Secretary of the Metropolitan Municipality Mehmet Yıldız and the Chief Information Officer Hakan Arık, attended MobilFest and chatted with the citizens who spent a science-filled day. Mayor Mustafa Bozbey, mentioning that our future lies with the children, stated that as Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, they aim to implement science and technology in all areas. Expressing their desire for children to be more involved with science in the future, Mayor Bozbey quoted Atatürk saying, ‘In the world, for everything, for civilization, for life, for success, the most real guide is science, is knowledge.’ In this regard, we must raise our children. Numerous activities were organized in MobilFest towards this goal. We created an environment where our children and families can develop their imagination, where our children might even choose their future professions. Thanks to this festival, the people of Bursa were immersed in science and technology. I thank all the participants and contributors.
