Water makes up 80% of our body mass and covers over two-thirds of the surface of the earth, but most of us still know very little about it. Do we know what the potential of Israel\u2019s natural water sources is? How is seawater desalinated and how much desalination currently takes place in Israel? What are Israel\u2019s water\u00a0agreements with her neighbors? What does our drinking water contain? How are waves formed in the ocean and how do waves impact surfers and structures at sea and on the coast? How do submarines work?<\/p>\n
Answers to these and many other science and technology questions can be found at the 2014 Researchers\u2019 Night, which will take place at the Technion on September 18, from 4pm to 10pm. The theme this year will be water sciences.<\/p>\n
The Technion invites the public to participate in Researchers\u2019 Night \u2013 a celebration of science and research for the whole family, sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Science, Technology and Space and the European Union. Researchers\u2019 Night will take place in some 300 cities throughout Europe and Israel.<\/p>\n
The 2014 Researchers\u2019 Night event will take place at the Technion and include various scientific exhibits and activities appropriate for all ages. Participants will be able to taste seawater before and after desalination, build and sail a paper boat, closely examine how an underwater robot works, learn how submarines work, learn how to identify and handle water pollution, and enjoy a myriad of lectures, demonstrations and activities for the whole family. Activities will also be provided for younger family members.<\/p>\n
Researchers\u2019 Night at the Technion is intended for children, youth and adults ages 9 to 99. Anyone who is curious about water science and technology is invited to participate and learn. Maybe you\u2019ll discover your future here, and maybe you\u2019ll simply satisfy your curiosity \u2013 either way, you won’t want to miss it! Whatever your age, you are invited to attend this science festival at the Technion, one of the world\u2019s leading science and engineering institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
