Vision
Enable joint encounters in the belief that the time spent learning together will eliminate prejudice and lead to a better understanding and mutual tolerance. By a joint experience we hope to promote tolerance and understanding to the young generation of Arabs and Jews. By doing it through science and technology, we hope that they become contributing members to the Israeli society in the future.
Activity
The Technoda in Givat Olga was established more than 30 years ago, with the aim of providing a framework for children from low socio-economic backgrounds, enriching and exposing them to science and technology (immigrant children from Ethiopia and children from a low socio-economic background).
Since then, Technoda has grown from a local initiative to one of the largest scientific centers in the country, with about 250,000 visits every year of children and youth, from all over Israel learning Science and Technology through hands-on laboratory activities. Eventually, this creates an interaction environment for immigrant, veteran, religious, secular, Jewish and Arab children.
The comprehensive program of study at Technoda also encompasses a wide range of subjects taught at different levels in general science, chemistry, physics, technology, electronics, computers and more, while complementing the Ministry of Education’s curriculum.
During their visits, the students are being enriched with innovative programs in Astronomy, Medicine, Robotics, Optics, and Computers, as well as a unique science content for kindergartens.
Although Technoda has evolved in the past three decades, its goals over the years have not changed and are still to respond to the need of developing Israel’s future leaders in science Although Technoda has evolved in the past three decades, its goals over the years have not changed and are still to respond to the need of developing Israel’s future leaders in science
