NEW YORK—Three Ethiopian teens, part of the Jewish Agency's Sparks of Science program, were in Turkey last week at an international space camp run in partnership with NASA.

The teens were sent at the initiative of the Jewish Agency and the Weizmann Institute and are part of an Israeli delegation of high school students.

The Jewish Agency's Sparks of Science program provides academic enrichment for Ethiopian high school students with classes in science, technology, math, and English at Israel's top academic institutions, including the renowned Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot; classes are taught by Weizmann faculty and tutoring sessions by students.

At the space camp, the three students, Ilan, Bat-El, and Sarit, will spend a week with high school students from around the world doing science experiments, meeting astronauts and experiencing a simulated flight to the moon.
