Tel Aviv – Street Labs in Square and Malls 2014

Our Street Labs in Rabin Square and Israeli Malls

Minister of Science, Technology and Space, Yaakov Peri, asked Israel Sci-Tech Schools network to set up a tent in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square to launch Israel’s National Science Week. We also set up “Street Labs” in malls. Hundreds of curious children and adults crowded into the venues to view and learn about the high-tech scientific engineering innovations of our advanced students. We aimed to inspire sci-tech education by showing it is fun and can lead to great careers.

If you were in Union Square in New York a year ago, it was déjà vu! We have done it in New York, now we were doing it on our home turf.

Minister Peri and long-standing corporate supporter of Israel Sci-Tech and Chairman of Israel’s Bank HaPoalim, Mr. Yair Seroussi paid a visit to our buzzing stands.

Young inventors-designers of the future put their robots on show.
