Beam Me Up Scotty

From Our Past President

Last week, we learned just how “out of this world” AMIT is. The Rimon Foundation SpaceLab is a two-year hands-on research program open to 8th and 9th grade students in the U.S. and Israel. The overall goal is to learn about science through the prism of space studies. The participants compete to develop and submit an experiment to the International Space Station. And, this year, with over 120 schools taking part, (7 AMIT schools), AMIT Yeshiva Tzfat took first place. This means that Israeli astronaut Eytan Stibbe will conduct their experiment in space.
