The Ed Satell Science Programs: STEM mobiles
science technology engineering mathematics
The Jaffa Institute launched the Science Mobile Program in 2018 to provide disadvantaged children from diverse backgrounds throughout Israel with engaging STEM education. Through this innovative program, RV trailers outfitted with cutting-edge technologies travel to the Jaffa Institute’s After-School Educational Enrichment Centers for at-risk youth, as well as to underserved public schools.
Each “STEM Mobile” vehicle accommodates 10-12 students, allowing the instructor to provide the small group of children with individualized feedback and support.
Participants are able to successfully complete increasingly complex projects despite their vast educational gaps, thereby building the children’s confidence in their ability to pursue a career in a STEM field. In addition to developing the children’s scientific skills, these lessons build their creativity, self-esteem, and motivation.

Galileo: Science Mobile
The original Science Mobile is equipped with technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutting machines and robotics kits. The students learn how to use these devices to explore physics, robotics, geometry, electro-magnetics, measuring, fractions, temperature, and engineering.

Rolling Waves Mobile
The Rolling Waves Lab immerses students in the multifaceted world of waves mechanical, electromagnetic, and matter waves. Equipped with an array of tools like cameras, microphones, lighting, and software, the lab fosters hands-on exploration. Projects include constructing crystal radios, dissecting light spectrums with spectroscopes, or experimenting with Doppler effect games
Space Mobile
Congruent with the program’s overarching goals, the transformational Space Mobile contains interactive learning tools to broaden participants’ awareness of a variety of STEM subjects, including physics, chemistry, gravity, energy, solar systems, satellites, and spaceships.
Established with the generous support of Dame Vivien Duffield through the Clore Israel Foundation 2025
Kitchen Mobile
The Kitchen Mobile provides participants with opportunities to discover the wonders of science through cooking. Staff facilitate cooking lessons on topics such as density, thermodynamics, protein denaturation, soluble solutions, measuring, fractions, the carbon cycle, cells, and more.

Chemistry
Mobile
This vehicle's goal is to engage students in hands-on chemistry activities that increase their knowledge and confidence. The lab is outfitted with beakers, microscopes, and other equipment that will allow participants to conduct experiments.

Rolling Robotics Lab
The Robotics Lab strengthens skills in the field of developing logical thinking, thinking outside the box, problem-solving, and encourages creativity. Robotics makes learning a fun and enriching experience, and stimulates children's curiosity and motivation to learn and show interest in science and technology
The Rolling Robotics Lab was dedicated in memory of Msgt. (Res.) Constantine Sushko z"l
