This is true of ORT’s International STEM Summer School, where students benefit from individualized support and attention from experts and hands-on experiential learning using sophisticated equipment.

The program aims to accelerate the students’ academic and personal development. Senior high school students are selected from around the network for their excellence.

They attend a rigorous three-week academic course in Israel, and study topics including medical sciences, biotechnology, engineering, and robotics. They conduct research projects alongside leading academics and are also fortunate to meet some of Israel’s renowned scientists and tech entrepreneurs.

Importantly, the program also encourages collaborative learning and fosters ties between talented young people from across the world who share similar interests in science and technology.

As well as developing their personal, social empowerment, creativity and entrepreneurial thinking and leadership development, students benefit from a rich Jewish and cultural experience in Israel.
