In Gevasol and the Emek HaMa’ayanot Regional Council, we dreamed of a center that would connect education, industry, and technology. We wanted a place where the children of the valley could meet the real world: with engineers, entrepreneurs, and people who do things.
The dream led us to an abandoned indoor swimming pool. We saw it as a home for innovation – within the old walls, we imagined classrooms, labs, makerspaces, and a small auditorium. This was the dream.
The Dream
The Dream
Becomes Reality
For over a decade, Idan Technologi, on the outskirts of Beit She’an in Emek HaMa’ayanot, has been a vibrant, breathing place filled with activity. Thousands of students, teachers, volunteers, and entrepreneurs have passed through here since.
They dared, experimented, failed, and built robots and autonomous boats. They studied biomimicry, disassembled and reassembled engines, discovered new technologies, and connected them to real life.
The Impact
Idan Technologi is part of a broad vision of investing in the community that pays for itself – in jobs, technological development, a strong community, and a flourishing valley. This is how the old pool became a hub of inspiration and the valley became a home for innovation.
