The teams of the Information Technology Department of Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality are introducing VR virtual reality glasses to children in rural neighborhoods. Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality continues to first connect children with the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades on the Bandırma Ship and then provide them with the thrill of a Roller Coaster. By traveling to rural neighborhoods throughout the city and allowing children to take a journey with Atatürk and his comrades on the Bandırma Ship, the municipality has now introduced the children in the rural neighborhoods of Çepni and Doğanpınar in Bandırma to the VR virtual reality glasses.

These activities contribute to our children’s development.”

Eylüll Eker, who expressed her happiness to be part of such an event, said, “It was a very fun and beautiful event.

It was a wonderful feeling. I thank our Balıkesir Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Akın. I want such events to come again.”

Elanur Köklü, who said she had a fun time thanks to the virtual reality glasses, shared her experience: “We had a great time with the virtual reality glasses.

I also liked the games. I thank our Mayor Ahmet Akın very much.”

Ali Emir Yener commented on the event, stating, “It was a nice event. I saw the roller coaster and the Bandırma Ship up close. Seeing Atatürk, his belongings, and paintings excited me.
