Intel® Teach to the Future
 Intel® Teach to the Future was launched in Israel in 2001. As of spring 2002, more than 1,500 teachers in Israel have been trained. Currently, the program operates in four centers located throughout Israel (Achva College in the South; Gordon College in the North; the kibbutz school system in the Jerusalem area, and the Amal Technology school system in Central Israel). These programs are expected to train more than 5,000 teachers in Israel by the end of 2002.
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
In Israel, Science Day (March 13, 2002) marked the birthday of Albert Einstein and the date of the Young Scientists Competition. In 2002, the competition was cosponsored by Intel, the Bloomfield Science Museum, and the Education Ministry. Now in its fifth year, the competition is intended to promote, develop, and encourage creative and original thought among Israeli youth in the various science and technology fields. Intel Jerusalem employees were involved in mentoring the contestants. Winners competed in the 2002 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF).
Intel Computer Clubhouse Network
Three Intel Computer Clubhouses operate in Israel, in Kiryat Gat, Jerusalem, and Haifa. Intel hopes that these centers will bring a measure of digital opportunity to the homes of those who might otherwise miss the "technology boat."
Higher Education
Since 1974, universities and colleges throughout Israel have partnered with Intel to advance science education. Academia and business have collaborated on a wide range of programs to impart technological knowledge and tools, promote the assimilation of advanced systems, and conduct technological research.
- The Intel Computer Clubhouse in Kiryat Gat was the first Clubhouse outside the U.S.
- More than 1,100 teachers took part in the Intel Teach to the Future program in Israel during 2001. More than 5,000 teachers are expected to take part in this project by the end of 2002.
- Since 1998, Intel has donated several million $U.S. to various higher education projects such as scholarships and innovative computer labs.
- Deep involvement in education and leading exporter status helped Intel Israel earn the nation's prestigious Export Prize, as well as the Prime Minister's Hamofet Award and the Kiryat Gat Mayor's Award.
- The Israel High-Tech Summit recognized Intel Israel as a valuable role model.
