Students of the Alliance School for the Deaf in Jerusalem in cutting edge of technology and volunteering in the Jerusalem community.

During the 2014 school year, the Jerusalem Education Authority launched a new tourism venture project called "Site in a Unique Sight".
Students and teachers from the special needs education schools in Jerusalem chose different sites throughout the city. They investigated those sites and created a QR code for each of them. Each code was placed on a board located in the touristic site, for the general public to see.

Students of the Alliance School for the Deaf in Jerusalem documented the Rabinovich Garden (popularly known as "The Monster Park") where the monster statue is located (whose real name is "Golem") - a Jerusalem icon especially beloved by the city's children.

This statue was created in 1972 by French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle from cast concrete. The monster represents a woman and the space inside the sculpture represents the female womb.
The design of the monster's mouth includes three slides through children slide out, a metaphor for the birth process. At first, birth is scary, dark and unknown, but then it becomes happy and joyfully.

The video was produced by the students.

A ceremony was held on Tuesday, 13.5.2014 with students, parents and school teachers of the Alliance School for the Deaf in Jerusalem.
The ceremony revealed the work and the effort of the students who investigated the story of the monster statue in Kiryat - Yovel during the last school year. During the year, the students created replicas of the sculpture through various media: paintings, baking, computer software and more.
The ceremony featured students who sang, acted and blew balloons in the colours of the statue - black, red and white. The video and the ceremony was accompanied by a children's song written and composed by Gadi Cohen, who wrote it to his nephews when they were little and afraid of monsters. The name of the song: "What nonsense!"
The song was performed in sign language by the students of the Alliance School for the Deaf in Jerusalem.
