SciTech Sparks A Global Young Innovator

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Livingston resident Shayne Cytrynbaum, a junior at Golda Och Academy, recently spent a portion of his summer in Israel after being selected to attend a prestigious program called SciTech, during which he had a unique opportunity to study robotics, space, biotechnology and food engineering alongside professors at MadaTech, Israel’s National Museum of Science, and at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (also known as the “MIT of Israel”).

“I truly enjoyed the SciTech program, and I am so glad that I applied and was accepted, as it really was an experience of a lifetime,” said Cytrynbaum, who learned about the program through his cousin. “I made amazing friends from around the globe with kids participating from eight countries on four continents, and I am still regularly in touch with many of them over a month after we all went home.”
