We expose people to the options available in technological fields, and empower underrepresented populations to be part of Israel’s startup nation
Forstart aims to empower marginalized communities in technological and academic fields, and enable every child to begin their technological journey with the confidence to tackle challenges while nurturing ambitious dreams.
"Success is not a direct path towards your goals, but hundreds of small steps and attempts in the right direction, day after day"
"The end of the year ceremony was very touching. I got to see my students presenting the projects they have been working on. Seeing students, who were reluctant to participate in the program, saying that they will continue to pursue computer science at their school was really satisfying! It made me realize our efforts actually allowed them to pursue new opportunities"
"Personally, this was a meaningful experience that goes beyond the daily routine of a university student. There is something special in the pride of a pupil who goes through a process, understands, learns and improves, with the knowledge that this process may have a significant impact on his life. These pupils are my pride!"
"Instructing at Forstart felt like a great cause. But more than that - it was simply fun! Seeing their smiles when they walk into class, their eyes lighting up when they understand something - you really have to be there to understand how it makes you feel! I myself struggled to understand complex technological concepts until recently… so the ability to help someone else is a great mission and very satisfying."
