This week, the AMIT Wasserman Junior and Senior High School in Beersheva unveiled a state-of-the-art learning space that is meant to foster innovation, creativity, initiative, dialogue and spirit.

The new room is part of the municipality’s “digital city” project, and was created as a collaboration between the city of Beersheva and the AMIT network.

Designed with advanced educational architectural methods in mind, the space includes a central study area, a quiet room for individual study, rest areas, a library, laptop computers and sophisticated projection screens. It also houses a memorial corner for graduates of the school who were killed in Israel’s wars.

The room was inaugurated in a special ceremony attended by Beersheva’s Deputy Mayor Heftzi Zohar, AMIT Director General Amnon Eldar, education officials from the city and the AMIT network, as well as students and teachers.

The goal of the innovative space is to foster autonomous learning, and transform students into independent thinkers and learners.
