Sample Day

1.    08:00 – 09:00 Optional Morning Fundamentals: Classes taught by Institute staff in the three areas of interest of the Institute, namely pioneering Zionist philosophy, information technology, and start-up entrepreneurship. These classes are informal primers, addressing new information in a smaller seminar-style setting, enabling deeper engagement and intellectual stimulation for fellows.  

2.    09:00 – 17:30 Guided Work: Fellows work out of the Institute space, and meet with Institute staff who coach them on-site, or travel to meet mentors--leaders in their fields who have donated their time to enable the next generation of pioneers. Fellows who maintain their day-jobs benefit from guided work on evenings with no programming. 

3.    18:00 – 19:30 Skillbuilding Workshops: Sessions for fellows taught by experienced entrepreneurs in the fields of the expertise. These sessions, held three times a week on average, focus on practical skill acquisition and immediate application, so as to build capacity. 

4.    20:00 – 21:30 Speakers: Held two to three nights a week, alternating, the Institute program features speakers from across the disciplinary spectrum to highlight innovation and the process of venture development.
