We love this season of growth and renewal 

​Translating Vision into Reality

Just a few short months ago, we shared the exciting news that our Mobile MakerSpace was up and running. Today, we’re thrilled to announce two meaningful updates: a fresh new name and a fantastic new team member.
 
With enthusiastic support all around, the unit is now officially called Wonder Wheels (in Hebrew, גלגלי הפלא)—a name that captures the spirit of movement, creativity, and discovery.
​
We’re also delighted to welcome Nofar Atas as our Head of Education and Training for Wonder Wheels. Nofar holds a diploma in Education from Hebrew University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem—an ideal combination of experience and creativity for leading our program. She’s already hit the ground running, helping secure a wonderful new collaboration with Imagine, the mobile music initiative. Together, we’ll bring an innovative blend of STEAM and music programming to students in both formal and informal educational settings (more on that soon!).
 
Over the Passover holiday, Wonder Wheels also hosted a festive Kids Fun Day in Moshav Elifelet in the Galilee, filled with hands-on activities in art, engineering, and science—yes, there was slime! Dozens of children spent hours exploring, creating, and learning through play.
 
We’re so excited about the energy and creativity Nofar brings, and we can’t wait to see where Wonder Wheels rolls next.

OUR MUSEUM HAS A HOME

The Lower Galilee Council, our municipal partner, has generously allocated 20 dunams (approximately 5 acres) for our project, as confirmed in our partnership agreement.
 
This is big!
 
Nestled in the heart of the Lower Galilee, an agricultural region known for its open spaces, heritage, and natural beauty, our museum is strategically situated to foster community and cultural growth. This developing region thrives on inclusion, diversity, and regional identity.
 
Near the Golani Intersection, the site is close to the Kaduri School Complex with over 2,000 students—an ideal environment to engage and inspire the next generation.

In this land, each child is a new chapter in an ancient story.
