Sa’adeh Science and Technology House:
The Science and Technology House is a dynamic body that follows the developments and phenomena of the scientific, engineering, and technology aspects in our everyday lives. These phenomena are presented to the house’s visitors (children and adults) in an interactive manner that guarantees the visitors’ engagement in the process of knowledge acquisition, and guarantees the visitors’ entertainment with science and technology.
The science house is considered an extracurricular educational institution that assists educators in channeling true knowledge to children in practical and exiting manner. It is also a place to have fun and spend vacation days for it contains various sections that are of interest to all ages and educational levels.
The Science House is named after Sa’adeh family because this prestigious family from Birzeit has donated its old house for 15 years to be renovated and used by Al Nayzak Organization.
Establishment Journey:
The initiative of establishing and operating the first Science and Technology House in Palestine comes as a continuation of Al Nayzak’s efforts in building a generation of critical thinkers who depend in their everyday life on scientific and practical learning. Further, it supports the organization’s attempts providing additional interactive and hands-on scientific resources. This constitutes a pilot project prior to the establishment of the National Science and Technology Museum in Palestine
In spite of this achievement of establishing the Science and Technology House, Al Nayzak believes that this is the first stage toward its ultimate dream of establishing the National Science and Technology Museum in Palestine.
