Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space

The Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space (also known as Madatech) (Hebrew: מדעטק – המוזיאון הלאומי למדע, טכנולוגיה וחלל MadaTek – HaMuze'on HaLe'umi LeMada, Tekhnologya VeHalal, Arabic: متحف إسرائيل الوطني للعلوم والتكنولوجيا والفضاء) is a science and technology museum in the city of Haifa, Israel.

[2] The museum, established in 1983, is housed in a historic building that was designed as the first home of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, until it relocated to its current campus.

The yard was turned into a science park, which presents the famous scientists and inventors in history, and their discoveries which are important and enriching milestones.

The park is divided into five different courtyards; each one dedicated these famous scientists: Archimedes, Daniel Bernoulli, Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci and Pythagoras.

In the center of the amphitheater there is a fountain shaped like a wind rose and controlled by a computer, allowing water shows combined with colorful lighting.

Additionally, in the exhibition building another room continued the display and included about 50 inventions accompanied with explanations on interactive touch screens.

The exhibition was opened in March 2013 and presented the vision of the future human journey in the Solar System and beyond it.

The first part displays the first 50 years in space – the Russian Sputnik and Vostok and on the opposing side, the American Apollo and Opportunity (rover).

The main theme is the transition from the open sea to the shore, when visitors pass through areas dedicated to different subjects.

The Education wing is a center supporting science, technology and space studies for school students and other audiences.

The education wing includes classrooms and laboratories and runs a wide variety of educational programs in different subjects such as: physics and astronomy, chemistry, quality of the environment, mathematics, robotics, genetics, electricity, and information security technologies.

A number of screens are placed at the center's entrance, and they present the game “the evolution of the internet”, where the participant observes meaningful events that had to do with the internet in every decade, starting with the 1960s: from the establishment of Microsoft (who is sponsoring the center), through sending the first electronic mail, to the future – then a video clip presents the futuristic lifestyle.

Special screen will wait on the floor, and at the moment you step on them they will indicate dangerous surfing or unsafe chatting.
