In the age of weaponized drones and high stakes cyber warfare, Israel’s security rests upon maintaining a high-tech edge over her enemies. Some of Israel’s most valuable technologists aren’t in the army…that’s because they’re still kids! Meet some of Israel’s best young coders and hackers via a live Skype feed from Jerusalem. We’ll run a live coding demo and discover how advanced Israel has become of giving high tech skills to young kids.

Please join us as we explore the different aspects of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, with a focus on college campuses. While the actual impact on Israel’s economy from any successful BDS resolutions is negligible, the  public relations impact is of concern. And very importantly, the growing trend of BDS activity on college campuses can have a direct adverse impact on the social and cultural environment for our Jewish students on campus. We will discuss current trends and the organizational resources available to help train and support our students combatting BDS.
