Model for Developing Entrepreneurial Thinking and Creative Problem Solving in Israel's Startup Ecosystem

Integrating Startup Innovation into Gifted Education within Atlas Juniors. The Atlas Juniors is a dynamic three-year educational pedagogical model developed for gifted students in grades 8-11. The model combines real-world technological challenges from Israel’s leading startups with structured educational frameworks aimed at cultivating entrepreneurial skills and immersing students in an innovative environment. Each element of the model not only enriches students' academic experience but also integrates learning from the problem-solving strategies that startups themselves employ in the real world. My presentation will explore how this model uniquely enhances the capabilities of gifted students and its potential for broader application.
