Starting in junior high, students at AMIT Wasserman Torah, Arts and Sciences in Ma’ale Adumim are being prepped for a future full of innovative technology. The school launched new programs in the 2017 school year, including a collaboration with IT networking giant Cisco and the organization Taasiyeda, an Israeli nonprofit organization that promotes the development of leadership and technology skills in children. As part of that program, 8th-graders participate in a course called “Premium Entrepreneurship,” in which they develop an idea into a working archetype with the help of an instructor and engineers. The girls and their parents met with representatives from Taasiyeda and engineers from Cisco for a fascinating discussion about R&D at the tech company. They learned about the diverse opportunities that await women in the workforce, preparing them for serious careers and bright futures when they are a bit older.
