The “Art of the Pitch” project for 12th grade Alpha Program students in the Science Accessibility track was developed at the Davidson Institute for Science Education, The Weizmann Institute of Science’s educational branch. Within the framework of this project, the students took part in workshops that taught them how to effectively give over content and present scientific dilemmas.

The students selected dilemmas from the field of science, researched and learned their subjects in and out, and debated them in groups. In addition, the participants acquired the skills necessary for presenting dilemmas in a creative, clear and concise manner. With help from professionals, each group created a video on their subject, and the final products were posted online, in order to raise public awareness towards these important scientific topics and their ramifications.
