...I'm quite sure there's lots of mistakes in what i said and I hope someone will correct me. I might try to contact the Technion guys who started the project. Would be nice to write an article about how FIRST started in Israel.  |
I'm not sure the entire story either, but you left out one detail, the work done by Alisha Wallenstein. She worked with GM (UMI in Israel?) to help spread FIRST to Israel, including speaking to the Minister of Education. She is now the Israeli Regional Director.
