We are relieved and grateful that a ceasefire has been declared — and MadaTech has reopened its doors to the public. We are excited to welcome visitors back to MadaTech and to continue providing meaningful science experiences for families across Israel - both in person and online. We sincerely hope that calm will hold and that this marks a return to routine, just in time for summer - our busiest and most impactful season of the year. We continue to pursue our mission remotely - sharing science content and simple experiments for families to enjoy at home, producing educational videos, and working on two new episodes of our science podcast. We also advanced the development of our new summer exhibition on space and aerospace innovation, which we hope to launch in the coming weeks. Just a few days before the recent escalation, a special event marking the Technion’s 100th anniversary was held at MadaTech - in the historic building where the Technion was originally founded, and which now houses our museum. The ceremony, attended by Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, the Mayor of Haifa, and Technion leadership, was a powerful reminder of the building’s central role in the development of Israeli science and innovation - and the great promise that lies ahead. This year MadaTech also celebrates a very meaningful milestone - its 40th anniversary: four decades of scientific excitement, nurturing Israel's future generations! On this important occasion we wish to thank you all for your continued support through the years, and especially for your solidarity during these challenging times.
