GoPark - קבוצה 10 גרינברג

A PBL program to look for solutions to "real life" problems. The project will consist of weekly encounters. It begins with the imparting of skills in teamwork, followed by a division into professional courses (product design, Arduino, application development, management, marketing and research) and working groups (around 26 groups of 6 students per group, one from each professional specialization). Formation of the working groups is done around the departments of the local authority, in which each group, in its department, has to choose a subject to deal with, by following these steps: making research to identify needs, defining a problem, finding solutions and formulating a prototype or a model. At the end of the year, students will present their products at a festive event.

• Parents (especially if there arer experts in relevant fields);
• Academic researchers and lecturers from near institutions (The Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa University, Oranim college);
• Industry (representatives from different companies to support the pupils' projects);
• Local authority (The scope of the problem in which the entire project deals focuses on the surroundings of the community, and therefore the local authority will be recruited to join the project).
