The program takes place in junior high schools where teenagers learn scientific theories pertaining to physics and technology while building models from educational lego. The main aim of this hands-on, experiential learning tool is to motivate school students into choosing a science option in senior high.  

This is a 3 year project that is integrated with the science and technology curriculum in Jewish and Arab junior high schools (grades 7-9) in the north of Israel.  The main aim of this project is to assist students, while still young, to feel comfortable when studying science since it often seems daunting.  Using this interesting and fun learning technique enables these young teenagers to develop thinking and problem-solving skills through the acquisition of knowledge and an understanding of the facts, terms, theories and laws of physics.

A unique teaching program is implemented within the schools based on educational lego, whereby the students are exposed to a wide range of scientific and technological content, its relevance to society and interrelation with daily life.

At the end of each school year representatives compete in age-based robotic tournaments between the different schools participating in this World ORT Kadima Mada project and attend enriching lectures on robotics and exploratory science.

This project has been running since 2007 and has proven to be an enormous success amongst teachers and students alike.  An external evaluation of the program has shown that its aim has been achieved in that participants have eventually chosen to further and deepen their knowledge of the sciences. The program was initially developed by Robotech Technologies and further enhanced in World ORT Kadima Mada affiliated junior high schools
