Madatech - Your Israeli Green Partner

The growing concern for our indefinite future has brought Madatech, Israel’s National Museum of Science, Technology and Space to espouse the concept of sustainable development as a guideline to all of its educational activities. Madatech is dedicated to leading by example and promotes the issue of environmental sustainability at all levels. It aims at raising public awareness, especially among teenage students, leveraging and implementing local and national sustainable development solutions. Understanding that it is human action that affects the environment, Madatech’s green campus develops designated exhibitions, educational agenda and visitors programs that effectively contribute to a greener world.

	Green Education Leading a social change requires educational steps. Madatech provides the public, and in particular youngsters, with environmental literacy, scientific knowledge and technological skills. Madatech invests in developing a variety of designated educational programs for preschool, elementary junior and high school students. In addition, it operates practical environmental experiments in advanced research labs for high school students in multiple issues such as water, renewable energy and many more.
	Green Exhibitions Madatech aspires for broad public participation in decision making. Madatech implements two cornerstone environmental exhibitions; Green Energy , which explores the creation and effects of renewable energy; and My Green Home, which exhibits various means of conducting a green reality at home, by using smart consumption and green technology.
	Green Outreach Madatech exposes tens of thousands of students across Israel to scientific topics of environment, energy, water, and global warming. These unique educational programs are brought to their doorstep by Madatech’s mobile labs. In addition, Madatech guides students in preparing eco-gardens at schools and operates communal environmental days.
	Green Knowledge Madatech has hosts thousands of teachers, academic experts and heads of industry in green conferences and seminars relating to green issues. Simultaneously, Madatech implements environmental programs for elementary school and junior high science teachers.
	Green Days Madatech initiates students’ environmental days, examining green themes such as water, recycling and global warming through laboratory experiments and green projects. These days expose students to environmental issues, involve the community and promote a creative dialogue between teachers, parents and children.
	Green Global Events Madatech takes part in global environmental events and experiments that join together thousands of students from around the world for an environmental cause. Recent examples are The Albado Experiment, held as part of the IGLO Project and International Earth Day.
	Green Communication Madatech conducts a series of annual lectures on climate change, hosting leading academic representatives, parliament members and NGO delegates. Madatech organizes debates on global warming, hosting environmental and other science academic experts.
	Green Competition Every year, Madatech implements the OlimpYeda, a four stage national scientific competition. The third stage is a two week summer camp, in which students are exposed to diverse aspects of environmental issues: scientific, social and political. The final stage is broadcast on Israeli TV and introduces the Israeli public to a variety of environmental themes and controversial issues.
	Green Campus Madatech’s green campus diminishes its ecological foot print and assimilates sustainability principles in every aspect of its activity, including effective use of energy, rain water collection, solar energy or other environmental friendly steps.
