Campus Tfutsot Vision General Scope

• The Unit for Science Oriented Youth, an NPO, was
  established at TAUs School of Education in 1981
  by the initiative of Mr. Joel Tauber, and has
  been serving the community ever since.
• Our goals
• Cultivate scientific thinking and striving for
  excellence among adolescents via extracurricular
  mind-stretching activities.
• Sharing the academys cultural and intellectual
  richness and diversity, from Biblical archeology
  to quantum theory.
• To create a community of learners with shared
  interests among students from various places in
  Israel and the world.
• Over 25,000 pupils from Israels entire
  Geo-social spectrum think together in a
  multitude of activities every year !

Campus TfutsotFeatures

• Campus Tfutsot is a relatively new project that
  utilizes media-enabled learning , such as Saba
  University /Centra and other VoIP Image
  platforms to make virtual learning an easy task.
• Target audience young scholars from the 6th to
  the 12th grade.
• This program requires a computer class facility
  for periodic web-conferencing and as an assembly
  venue for local groups.
• Courses, riddles and intellectual voyages will
  take place on both an individual basis and as
  group activities, bonding youth from around the
  globe around intellectual challenges.

We need you to help us turn our vision into
reality by providing us with curious kids and a
community center
