Özet: Prensky has introduced a proposal saying that if today's children confront real-world problems, they will be able to solve these problems with the skills they have (Prensky & Kuzu Demir, 2017). This proposal, Education to Better Their World (Çocukların Dünyasını Geliştirme Eğitimi, ÇDGE ), is not widely known in Turkey yet, and no research has been done. This study examines the opportunities and obstacles of the potentials that could contribute to the process of implementing the ÇDGE proposal in Turkey. The potentials that could contribute to this proposal in Turkey have been identified, and problems that reduce the efficiency of these potentials have been identified. The Ministry of National Education (MEB), the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) and the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) are institutions that will contribute to the implementation of this proposal in Turkey. Within the scope of MEB; Values Education, Science and Art Centers, Information Technologies and Software Course, Technology and Design Course, Fatih Project, and STEM applications were examined. Within the scope of TUBİTAK; TUBITAK Research Projects and Science Fairs were examined. Within the scope of YOK, the positive and negative aspects of the Projects of the Children's Universities are discussed. The obtained data shows that the ÇDGE proposal has significant potentials on applicability in Turkey, but there are various obstacles in the evaluation of these potentials. Suggestions have been made based on the  information obtained.
