We Are Sci-Tech Israel

We made it! The last few days in Israel have been one of a kind and the fun has just begun. After our isolation period, our group was welcomed to Israel with the Sabbath. The ice breakers had us dancing and playing games that created lots of laughs while building our connections with each other. Finally, isolation ended and we hopped on the bus for our first day of fun in Jaffa and Shuk HaCarmel. 

We wake up to start our journeys each day with Mode Ani, Boker Tov, and Israeli music! We are excited and ready to see more of Israel! As students of science and technology it was amazing to go visit the Open Valley Caesarea for a lecture on innovation and start ups and The Oceanography Institute where we learned about coral and the Mediterranean. 

The sights, smells, and tastes of Israel are like no other and we cannot wait for the next two weeks!
