Founder & Instructor

Mustafa Kınacı

From software developer to educator: someone who has built with AI in the field and now helps schools prepare for this revolution.

Who is he?

Mustafa Kınacı has been developing software for 9 years. Along the way he worked at Yandex and Denizbank, worked with Şişecam, founded the AI startup Atasoft at Cappadocia Technopark and exited by selling the company, then founded Just Digital.

Today he runs Zekaland in Alanya: face to face AI, robotics and aviation programmes for children, and AI training for parents, teachers and school leaders.

Why a developer as instructor?

Because he knows what AI can do, where it goes wrong and how to use it safely from hands on building. He teaches through practical examples rather than theory, and with children he uses a Piaget inspired, learn through play approach.
