“Kaplan” School
a school for
entrepreneurship studies
We usually meet
with entrepreneurs
during the Global Entrepreneurship Week
The meeting with Ofer from “MILBAT”
“MILBAT” is an organization that helps to
improve the quality of life and social
integration of disabled people by
developing a special technology
environment.
During the meeting, Ofer told
the pupils his personal story
and about the difficulties of
disabled people. He also
showed different technological
accessories that could help
him.

Technological Process
We have been learning about the design process and
its stages. We’ve decided to incorporate this year ‘s
social issue "The other is me" in our final project.
Need:
Planning and designing an accessible playground for
children with physical disabilities
Studies of the topic:
Disability / blindness - definition,
difficulties, available accessories ,
meeting with disabled people
Playground equipment -
engineering requirements,
matching facilities for disabled people
Our own experience:
We went to the park and took with us a large wheelchair,
crutches and scarves to cover our eyes.
We tried to play and get on the various facilities. It was a
great experience for understanding about everyday
difficulties of disabled kids.
