From the Classroom to Research Labs – Schwartz/Reisman Akko Students at an Academic Day at the Technion

Last week, we visited the Technion for an Academic Day attended by all 11th-grade students from the Schwartz/Reisman Center for the Western Galilee in Akko.

The day opened with a fascinating lecture on astrophysics delivered by Dr. Efrat Sabach.

Students then toured a variety of research laboratories across different faculties, met researchers, and learned about the innovative work taking place at the Technion.

To conclude the day, we gathered at the Mehoudar Center for Inventors for an exciting and challenging hands-on Making workshop.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this Academic Day at the Technion:
