Shark attacks are an issue worldwide, meaning there is a genuine need for shark-repellent products. My design incorporates shark-repellent technology into commonly used products. My products consist of a shark-repellent wetsuit, surfboard, and attachable device (all of which are harmless to sharks). These products are the first of their kind as they incorporate multiple protection points, thus creating a larger area of protection. This technology is invisible and will therefore not interfere with the user’s performance. My products require intensive research and testing, I'm looking for help, feedback, and advice from specialists on how to further develop my products.https://sway.office.com/C1Uqpck5B6cilTDr?ref=Link

Space is a new frontier for agricultural innovation to feed human populations. BioHarvest has achieved  this with red grapes, olives, and pomegranates. BioHarvest technology enables economical production of commercial biomass of unique plant-based metabolites (such as polyphenols, antioxidants, cannabinoids, terpenes, psychoactive molecules, proteins and more) without the need to grow the plant itself. As an example, with grapes, this  production in the industrial scale proprietary bioreactors rather than on land creates  some 95% less physical space  needed in traditional farming. Using one seven-foot bioreactor can  produce what would require 240,000 square meters of land annually. Photo: BioHarvest

In the Israel of the 1980’s, policymakers recognized and accepted that space related activities had the potential to contribute, not only to the Israeli economy and the country’s international standing, but also to the advancement of humanity in terms of research, agriculture, communications and the monitoring of environmental pollution.  As a result, The Israel Space Agency was founded by government in 1983 under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and given a mandate to initiate and coordinate all activities of a civilian space program.
