Muzaffer Çetinkaya, the Academic Coordinator of the Capsule Technology Platform, emphasized that they refer to the platform as the city's technology center. He stated, "We follow the technology agendas and trends in the city, and organize educational programs and competitions related to them. At the same time, we provide material support, workshop opportunities, and working areas for national and international university students' national and international projects. We are an organization of the Konya Metropolitan Municipality that has four laboratories, each with different activities. If a student comes here with a project, it is generally a TEKNOFEST project. We assist them in working on their project by offering mentorship, material support, and working areas. If a student has a deficiency related to their project, we try to complete it by providing training or support from the experts here."

He stated that the training programs offered by the Capsule Academy and other units provide great advantages to the students.

They enjoy spending time here and learning from the team, as well as asking questions. Capsule Technology Platform provides voluntary or part-time job opportunities to those who have joined the Capsule family in any way, and they can work here as they wish.
