My passion for engineering – especially aerospace – started when I was very
little; I would spend most of my day in front of the TV watching series and documentaries
about aeroplanes, automobiles and large machinery on National Geographic and YouTube.
In 2018 I attended an aerospace camp at the Technion where I had the chance to learn about
aerodynamics and rocket propulsion. The highlight was testing our model aeroplane in a wind
tunnel, which only contributed to my love for the field. Inspired, a friend and I created a
course for younger students with an aim to promote aerospace engineering – an otherwise
unpopular field in my area due to the political context.
During the COVID pandemic, I launched an aviation group on Discord which drew in more
than 600 members from all around the world.
In 2019 I joined a local FIRST Robotics Competition team, where I became a
part of the CAD subteam – helping design our robots using SolidWorks, while
learning all about electronics and gathering experience in fabrication – mainly 3D
printing and CNC milling. 8 years later I continue with the team as a CAD mentor!
While at the "NIR School of the Heart" – a programme run by the
Harvard-MIT biomedical engineering lab and Medinol – I worked on various team projects.
For example, finding a minimally invasive way of treating an aneurysm and presenting it to
leading pioneers in the field. It was a shift, experiencing a new and vastly different –
but equally impressive – field of engineering.
I knew I wanted to study some form of engineering at university. To this end, I studied Maths,
Physics, Computer Science and Mechatronics at 5 units. My bagrut average was 119/119.
The hard work paid off when I was accepted to study aerospace engineering at
Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. I am looking forward for this upcoming journey,
continuing to grow as a person.
My life goal is to join and contribute to the aerospace industry, for I hold immense
amounts of passion towards this field.
