A new experimental program conducted by the Jewish education organization World ORT recently introduced robotics in local kindergartens.
The initiative, which currently runs at three kindergartens in Kiryat Yam, provides 5-yearolds with Lego toys they can assemble into robots in the shape of cars, cranes and other similar objects. The children then play with the robots and learn to control them electronically.
According to Avi Ganon, head of World ORT Kadima Mada, the Israeli branch of the organization, over 60 children are already participating in the program.
“The goal is to provide the kids with tools for thinking scientifically from a young age,” Ganon told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
