Intel agreed to initiate pushing for AI, STEM in Israeli schools, Education Ministry announces
The joint initiative will provide mentoring by Intel employees and help integrate artificial intelligence into educational programs across Israel.
The Education Ministry and US technology company Intel have signed a pact to bolster Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs and artificial intelligence (AI) integration in Israel's educational system, as announced by the Prime Minister's Office and the Education Ministry on Friday. This agreement is part of the "Fostering the Future Together" international conference, established by US First Lady Melania Trump for the wives of world leaders, held earlier this year in Washington, DC.
The deal aims to enhance education in STEM subjects and AI in schools throughout Israel, with Intel employees mentoring students and educators in AI and STEM fields. The collaboration will feature mentoring programs, AI integration into technological education programs, and joint activities in schools and local authorities. Additionally, the STARTCUP championship will present four outstanding Israeli student projects from the previous year's national competition at Intel's Global Artificial Intelligence Festival, which highlights "next-generation technologists" and future developers from 35 countries.
The initiative, led by Sara Netanyahu, aims to empower children in the digital age, promote digital literacy, and ensure online safety, ultimately providing future opportunities for Israeli students and contributing to the global AI revolution.
