Intel and Israel's Education Ministry launch AI and STEM partnership for schools

Israel's Education Ministry and Intel formalized a memorandum of understanding in New York to expand artificial intelligence and STEM instruction throughout the nation's school system. Attendees included Sara Netanyahu, education psychologist and spouse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Education Minister Yoav Kisch, representatives from the White House and senior Intel executives. The partnership focuses on AI integration, educational technology, digital literacy and online safety, with Intel engineers providing mentorship to teachers and pupils.

Ongoing cooperation will be supported by the STARTCUP competition, and four Israeli projects from the latest contest will be showcased at Intel's global AI Festival. The effort builds on Sara Netanyahu's participation in the "Fostering the Future Together" conference convened by U.S. first lady Melania Trump, aiming to equip Israeli youth for the digital age.
