Where are we?
23 centers in Israel
We operate 23 centers in Israel, from up north to down south, so that our activities can be accessible to a wide range of teen boys and girls from diverse geographical areas and so that we can contribute to the development of education in the periphery.
What do trainees think?
"Unlike the curriculum at school, in the program we learn the theoretical knowledge and then apply it. I learned to work in a team and build a product from scratch. And beyond that, I enjoyed the social setting, the tours of technology companies and the volunteerism that exists in the program."
Itai Shiner
"I’ve always been interested in the technology world but this content was not available to me and the program gave me an opportunity to get familiar with it, to learn to work in groups, to work on real projects and following my instructor’s advice I enrolled in an excellence program at the Hebrew University"
Yishai Segal
"As part of the Python end of year course project, we developed a computer game that helps children learn English. We developed the game based on the tools we received during the year, and it was very satisfying to see the results of what we worked on."
Ortal Gavrilov
"The program made me realize that programming is a profession that not only suits certain people, rather everyone. These topics always interested me but I didn’t really have a way to get exposed to them. The program exposed them to me and made them accessible to me in a very easy and interesting way."
Matan Yosef
"In my opinion, the most significant thing in this program is the fact that it not only provides theoretical knowledge but also practical tools. As part of the program, in the second year of the IoT course, we submitted a final project at the end of the year and actually built a smart product."
Avraham Gideon
"For a long time, I have been looking for a way to get into the high-tech industry, and the program enabled me to develop technological capabilities and realize that I was able to do it. I could not believe how quickly I was able to program."
