Science Buds

Are you the curious type? In that case, how do two full days of laboratory experiments, lectures by experts and social activities, three times a year, sound?

When will mankind reach Mars? How big is infinity? And what is the link between zebrafish and our brains? These are just some of the questions we will explore this year, as you enjoy the opportunity to meet new, like-minded friends from all over Israel. This unique multidisciplinary program offers participants a chance to delve into astronomy and astrophysics, biotechnology and life sciences, chemistry, robotics and more.
