Capitalizing on its experience with E2K’s astrophysics activities, the Center for Excellence created the Space Team Program, which offers additional education to selected students. Using exciting and practical applications, the two-hour per week program elevates and intensifies the students’ regular weekly four hours of E2K studies. Membership in the Space Team Program is viewed as an honor and reward for outstanding commitment and work in the previous year by both the students and their teachers.

"Out of this World" Science

The Space Team Program provides focused and more advanced study in astronomy and astrophysics.  Members of the Team investigate some of the more fascinating aspects of applied science and are able to learn from and interact personally with professionals in this field.  A variety of exciting space-related field trips are provided by the Center for Excellence to all Space Team Programs.  These trips include lectures and tours to planetariums, observatories, and research centers for the purpose of bringing the topics studied to life.

Guided by Professionals

The Space Team Program is enriched by the assistance of Technion students from the Asher Institute for Space Research.  Teachers selected to instruct and guide the Teams receive special training from the Center for Excellence.  Special Space Laboratories have been created for the program and are currently operating in 9 schools.  More will be established at additional Space Team Program sites based on outstanding teacher and student performance.

The Space Team Program was created by the Israel Center for Excellence through Education in cooperation with the Asher Institute for Space Research, Technion.
