Athena Fund works towards promoting the status of Israeli teachers and advance the 21st century education.
This is why we launched our innovative, cutting-edge project, ImagineBox, and I'd like to tell you about it.
ImagineBox is a breakthrough project revolutionizing the education system. With the help of the immersive interactive innovative technology, the classroom transforms from a lecture hall where students sit at their desks listening to the teacher, into a modern, active and fun educational experience.
The learned material is projected unto three walls and the floor, and with the help of sensors each surface becomes an interactive touch screen.
This way, the students are surrounded by a space that reflects the learned material, engaging their imagination and curiosity.
Leaning in such environment improves the connection between the students and the learned material, creating a deeper understanding and better ability to remember what they had learned.
The system also has many advantages for the teachers, and we discovered that they can teach more material in less time, making learning experiential for their students.
Teachers teaching in our classroom of the future report an increase in student participation during the lessons, strengthening of the desire to learn and better preservation of knowledge among the students.
ImagineBox also significantly affects acquiring 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and more.
ImagineBox already includes hundreds of immersive environments and lesson plans on a variety of school subjects.
In addition, teachers and even students are easily creating lessons and environments using the elaborate back office system.
ImagineBox allows today's educators to move into the role of mentors, accompanying and guiding students, who must acquire practical tools to use in their adult lives.
Today's students were born into a world filled with technology that continues to develop on a daily basis.
We at Athena Fund are making sure that teachers have the most advanced tools, and ImagineBox is the classroom of the future.
We need your help to continue to make imagination a reality.
