In order to make robotics and computer science more accessible to young Macedonians, as well as to contribute to their development, the Macedonian American Friendship Association (MAFA) has partnered up with the Association for Technical and Technological Education (ATTE) - Bitola to start building the foundation with the first educational summer program for children of age 10–16 in Macedonia.
 
The aims are to develop their awareness of the capabilities of robotics technology, to prepare them for life after school and careers in science, technology and engineering, and to create future potential leaders in the areas of robotics and computer science.

Through games, friendship, critical thinking, education, teamwork and other activities, the youth will be faced with practical application of computer science and robotics, as well as solving problems in everyday life.

The educational program would foster multi-ethnic and multi-national understanding, cooperation and teamwork through exploration of science and technology, much needed in the Balkans.

If you would like to make a difference and support the program, online donations can be made by just clicking on the Donate left-hand side.  Make sure to specify the project name "Roboteka". Thank you and please tell your friends!

It was the Greek government that informed the Ottoman Sultan  on the planned uprising of the Christians in Macedonia against the Ottoman Empire after they seeked support from their newly liberated fellow Orthodox brethren in Greece wrote the   New York Times in Greeks Betray Macedonians on March 31, 1902 .

The next year, May 26 1903 the NY Times wrote  Macedonian Chief's Death - A  Greek Spy Betrayed Deltcheff's Whereabouts on the death of the legendary Macedonian leader Gotze Deltcheff. Gotze and the accompanying Macedonina revolutionary leaders were killed by a large Ottoman force after fierce resistance and the whole village was burned.
