Davidson Institute of Science Education

Serving as the educational arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Davidson Institute develops, evaluates and provides a wide variety of educational programs for teaching and learning science and mathematics at all ages and levels.

Over the decades, these activities led to the creation of an academic department of Science Teaching at the Weizmann Institute and, in parallel, to an ever expanding array of educational field activities aimed at schools, teachers, students and the general public.

The success and proliferation of these programs eventually required the establishment of a separate, non-profit entity with dedicated to such activities, with a strong scientific linkage to the Weizmann Institute.

Davidson Institute's formal programs target different target groups such as outstanding gifted students, entire school classes and their teachers, youth at risk, underachieving youth, math and science teachers, young talented students from abroad and the general public of all ages.

Providing science education programs for all ages gives the Davidson Institute a holistic perspective of Life Long Learning and a special understanding of the needs of the various segments of Israeli society.
