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.

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

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.

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...

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

Shimon Peres definately hit the nail on the head talking about the future,
explaining how he envisions the world of tomorrow.

His speech was inspiring to me teaching how to think outside of the box.

It is no wonder that a few months later he decided to launch a new project to bolster science and technology in Israel.
It proves to us that he was really earnest in his speech.

Jon,
Thanks for posting the video. At the time I was way too concentrated on our first match to actually listen and remember what he said. It was nice to watch it again and actually listen to him this time.

On a side note, I just wanted to point out that at the time of the regional last year, Shimon Peres was not yet the president (although he was a prominent politician and has been prime minister twice). I think that this year the press coverage (especially from major newspapers and news channels) and the general interest in the competition will be much greater now that he is the president and will be attending the regional.

This is really promising for all of FIRST. If Peres achieves his goal, we'll need more than 1 regional for Israel .
