The study examines how an NTC (Nikola Tesla Center) learning program—delivered through classroom and everyday activities and games—affects primary students’ success. Conducted as experimental research in a government school in Çanakkale, Turkey, it involved 27 third-grade students assessed with pre- and post-tests. Results indicate limited pre-test knowledge about flags, capital cities, and landmarks, followed by improved post-test performance after eight flag-focused activities.

This learning program consists of various activities and games forchildren. This experimental research was carried out in one government primary school in Canakkale, Turkey. 27 students from the third grade (17 males and 10 females) were included, and in the pre and post-testing, they responded to 16 questions related to the knowledge they gained during the implementation of the experimental factor, as a part of the NTC learning system, related with knowledge of flags from 20 countries. The results showed that many of the students did not have enough knowledge about flags, capital cities and landmarks from other countries in the pre-testing. After the application of eight activities on the topic of flags created from the NTS program, we noticed more success in the responses of students in the post-test. Prior to the realization of the experiment, one basic and two auxiliary hypotheses were put forward. After the implementation of the research, it was concluded that the activities based on the NTS system of learning have an impact on the students'success.
