More about the program
The Ma’ale program was developed with the support and collaboration of Yad Hanadiv Foundation and the Klarman Foundation to identify and support excelling students from the Arab community, to help them to fulfill their potential while meeting their unique needs, due to language difficulties and the academic entry level. The program exposes the students to the academic world in the STEM fields and the opportunities and possibilities that it offers
Over the course of the three-year program, students acquire 21st century learning tools and skills through theoretical and practical learning of the fields of exact sciences and technology. The program focuses on computational science, including profound knowledge in programming (Python), applied to solving scientific problems. In addition, the program includes field trips to Start-Up companies and meetings with Arab engineers and researchers who are involved in cutting-edge studies and technological or biological development.
At the end of each year, participants carry out a research project that combines programming and science and focuses on a topic of their choice! So if you are willing to work hard for your future, we would like to work with you!!
