Scientific discovery isonly a finger swipe away when students of all ages use the Israeli-innovated Einstein Tablet+ in the classroom.

The worlds only educational tablet dedicated to science education comes from an Israeli education technology company you probably never heard of.
Though Rosh HaAyin-based Fourier Education has been selling products for 25 years, has customers in 50 countries and partners with the likes of HP, Acer and Intel, the company has grabbed the limelight with its Einstein Tablet+ and related products introduced in September 2013.
The unique Einstein science learning platform, for science students from elementary to high-school grades, unifies sensor-based experiments, interactive multimedia activities and user-friendly analysis applications on the dedicated device or on any tablet or computer.
In other words, as the company puts it: Scientific discovery is only a finger swipe away.
The Oscar of ed-tech
Einstein Tablet+ sold out of its first manufacturing run even before it came off the production line, and in January it won the 2014 Bett Award for digital devices the education technology industrys equivalent of an Academy Award.
Fourier CEO Ken Zweibel says the award was great recognition for the two years of teamwork behind the launch of this product. It is already sold in 30 countries now, and I suspect we will get to 75 or 80, he tells ISRAEL21c. We have interest even from countries we have not heard of before.
Fourier is a member of the European Unions Schoolnet, which aims to promote technology education among its members and related countries. It is the third-leading educational science products company in terms of US sales.
Zweibel explains that the tablet is meant to fill a major gap in science education for younger children everywhere.
