Mobile Laboratories
Alrowad facilitates students' exposure to science in disadvantaged communities in Israel by using mobile laboratories, which travel to different villages and schools throughout the country carrying personal scientific kits for the students. These kits allow hands-on scientific experiences for each student under the supervision of Alrowad's trained mentors.
