Adim Zaid / Technion Excellence Program

About Myself:  I was born in 2005 in Kfar Qara and graduated from the Arab Orthodox College in Haifa, where I majored in physics and electronics. My passion for math and science has guided my journey, particularly through my involvement in the Gifted Pupils Center by the Ministry of Education, where I engaged in various STEM activities.  

In high school, I actively participated in Model United Nations (MUN), chairing and attending multiple conferences. I am also a member of Seeds of Peace, through which I participated in sessions at Bassmeh, MEET in Cyprus, and the PS program in the USA. Additionally, I spent three years in a project sponsored by Bezalel Academy, which allowed me to explore art, resulting in several pieces displayed in galleries and catalogs. 

During my gap year, I joined the Masar program, which equips participants with tools and life skills to foster academic achievement and societal impact. This experience included a hackathon where I learned various coding languages.  

Volunteering is essential to me; I have worked with children with autism through art, volunteered at the Jordan River Village (a camp for kids with disabilities), and contributed to the Green Course at Technion and Hasoub, a grassroots NGO supporting Arab tech entrepreneurs, among other initiatives. 

Hobbies and Activities:  I enjoy drawing, oil painting, and horseback riding. I also love surfing, spending time at the beach, and traveling to explore new places and cultures. Additionally, I have a keen interest in reading and delving into diverse subjects.
