| The Greek foreign Minister, Ms. Bakoyannis, repeats the same old "justifications" for Greece harassing the Republic of Macedonia for 17 years with requests and pressure to change its name to one that Greece picks, which are unprecedented in history. The pressure has included a naval blockade in 1994-1995 and now blocking the NATO expansion in the Balkans and holding the stability of the region hostage. Most international observers and the 123 countries that have recognized Macedonia as the Republic of Macedonia, including the US, Russia, and China, find the policy that Greece is pursuing absurd.

 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! |
