Has President Peres seen an FRC Event?
Peres attended the 2007 Regional in Israel. He was one of the speakers in the opening ceremony. Since he was elected president he has been promoting technology and science, and FIRST is one of the project which he wishes to develop.

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

Good job Miscar!
I think FIRST Israel is finally starting to get the recognition in deserves.

The program that was initiated by president Peres and Microsoft looks very promising (even though I am skeptical at this point). Hopefully things will start moving now that there is funding from a huge corporation like Microsoft, rather than the government and ministry of education which are affected by foolish political decisions and greedy individuals who prevented programs like FIRST from getting funding in previous years.

I hope the Israeli teams aren't affected too badly by the ongoing strike in the Israeli high schools and universities. This is a huge issue and I hope it will be resolved soon, otherwise we may see programs like this and others disappear.

The Jerusalem Post -the israeli newspaper in English, writes:

Quote:
Software giant Microsoft Corp. has entered into a cooperative technological training project with the state of Israel expected to provide some 250,000 Israeli women, youth and disabled people with a springboard to a career in science and technology related industries.

"You have a good company so we're happy to do business with you," said President Shimon Peres at the ceremony launch the project on Thursday at Beit Hanassi.

Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft International, said it was no coincidence, that the global software company Microsft had chosen to work with Israel, adding that the country had the technological vision to open up new horizons. "Microsoft sees Israel as being a specialist country in innovation and creativity, leading the world in technological initiative. Moreover, Israel is regarded as one of three major technologically progressive countries outside of the US,", said Courtois.

"Technology is what literacy used to be," said Courtois.

The start of the project will be a national competition in robotics as part of Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations. Participants of the project will be trained in robotics, engineering and computers.

Microsoft seeks to encourage young people to be science and technology leaders by involving them in programs and projects that help to develop the skills that could lead to innovative ideas and products.

Peres added that he was pleased with the attention that Microsft was giving to women.

"In a country like Israel this was especially important, because there is a large religious community in which women are the breadwinners so that their husbands can continue their studies," said Peres. "If they can work with computers, they can do so in an environment that does not compromise their sensitivities."

Peres noted the importance of making technological education available to Israel's Arab community.

"The Arabs will never enjoy equality unless they enter the world of high tech," he said.
They meant the FRC (and hopefully the FLL) comeptiton.
Will be fishing for better articles of this in English, stay tuned.

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

oh man...That's awesome!
Do you have any mroe details on the "sponsering" that Microsoft is going to be providing.
Will it be for individual teams or the event as a whole?

As far as I know, they'll be sponsoring the entire Regional and not any specific team.

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

Has anyone watched yesterday's Mabat news cast on channel 1?

They did tell about Microsoft getting involved and Shimon Peres launching a new program to attract people to engineering through participation in FIRST.
Moreover, they mentioned some scholarship opportunities to overachieving participants.
Anyone knows anything about that ?

Sounds pretty interesting...
