About the Program

At MEET, we use technology, entrepreneurship, and intercultural communication as tools to empower young people to become agents of social change. Our curriculum combines computer science and business education, using problem/project-based learning methodologies to equip students with the skills to tackle real challenges in their communities.

Technology & Entrepreneurship
No prior knowledge required, you’ll start coding with Python, move on to AI, and build real applications that make a real-world impact.
You’ll also explore entrepreneurship through the Design Thinking model, which can help you create social ventures that develop user-centered solutions to real problems in the region.

Leadership
At MEET, we invest in both technical skills and personal leadership, developing young people who can communicate across differences, think critically, and work in cross-cultural teams.
You’ll gain tools in perspective shifting, narrative sharing, and cross-community dialogue; skills as essential as coding or entrepreneurship. We believe true leadership is built on empathy and dialogue, and that building a better future requires a combination of innovation and human connections.

Community
MEET is ultimately rooted in the local context: Israeli and Palestinian youth learning, creating, and leading together. Our community is built by and for people from this region, supported by global partners such as MIT.

You’ll learn from top MIT students and professionals who will instruct you on the world of technology and innovation, together with local mentors and coordinators who understand the realities of this region and guide you through teamwork, collaboration,  and making real impact.

If you’re curious, passionate about innovation, and ready to make an impact, join us for this one-of-a-kind experience.

*Every MEET student receives a full scholarship, which includes program fees, travel expenses, food, and study materials.
