  "account": "As Israeli children return to school for the new year, adults are venturing globally to bring education to remote areas. A six-month pilot run by ConnectingMath, an Israeli nonprofit, now engages 800 students in Kenya's rural schools. Led by a teacher named Aaron with 20 tablets, the program ensures students learn math without internet access. They complete over 100,000 activities so far.\n\nKeren Gantz-Maya, a former Education Ministry employee, now works with Early Starters International in Venezuela. They operate six safe spaces to help kids recover after disasters, engaging over 946 children in activities. The organization also trained 214 local professionals to sustain the efforts.\n\nRoboGroup, an Israeli company, collaborates with Ghana's Education Ministry to set up 20 STEAM learning centers nationwide. These centers include science labs, 3D printers, and digital manufacturing tools. RoboGroup trains local teachers to sustain these programs.\n\nThe Gabriel Project Mumbai brings digital science labs to seven schools in Maharashtra, India, serving over 6,000 indigenous children with limited tech access. Fourteen teachers travel between schools with portable tablets for various STEM subjects. GPM founder Jacob Sztokman notes the children’s enthusiasm when conducting experiments, sparking their curiosity and love for learning.",
