About NSC
A launchpad, not a classroom.
The Nazareth Space Center exists to close the opportunity gap for Arab students in Israel. We teach the skills schools don't — building, coding, engineering — and put students in front of the people who hire, invest in, and fund the next wave of technology.

The founders
Founded and run by the Nazareth Space Center.
Falcon Eye isn't a one-off event — it's the flagship program of the Nazareth Space Center, the Arab-led space and astronomy center in Nazareth. The Center writes the curriculum, trains the instructors, and runs the competition end to end.

Dr. Abdallah Khutaba
An educator from Nazareth, Dr. Abdallah Khutaba founded the Nazareth Space Center in 2020 to bring hands-on space science and engineering to Arab students in Israel. Under his direction the Center builds small satellites in its own lab and mentors school teams from first circuit to final showcase — turning curiosity about the sky into real engineering skill.

The program
Falcon Eye — عين النسر
A year-long journey where school teams learn, build, and compete. Weekly instructor-led sessions on hardware and software, mentorship from working engineers, and a final capstone project presented on a national stage.
Build
Teams design and build a real, working final project. Prototypes get broken, rebuilt, and pushed until they hold up under public scrutiny.
Compete
Projects are presented to judges from Israel's tech industry, investors, business owners, and the President of Israel. Winning teams take home prizes and a résumé line that opens doors.
Falcon Eye 2026
The night students shared the stage with the President.
On June 14, 2026, our winning teams presented in front of high-tech companies, investors, business owners, and the President of Israel. Three of the winning schools were coached in-house by our own instructors.
“They walked in as students. They walked out as builders.”
