Shalom and Happy Passover to you and your loved ones! 

I'm excited to use this opportunity to update you about Athena Fund's activities, which continue full speed ahead despite current challenges. 

Over the last year, along with our ongoing "Digital Toolbox for Every Teacher" project, we  have focused on our breakthrough ImagineBox project. 

The ImagineBox is a first-of-a-kind project in Israel that introduces cutting-edge interactive technologies into schools, thus creating the "classroom of the future" for teachers and students alike. The project empowers teachers, who play an important role as partners in developing teaching material. Trained teachers will guide the next generaion in this multi-sensory learning experience. 

All of us at Athena Fund are happy to announce, that the first ImagineBox in Israel has been completed and will soon open at the WIZO Nahlat Yehuda Youth Village in Rishon Lezion. 

As I write this update, teachers from the school are undergoing training to learn how to use the system, create teaching units, and incorporate immersive learning technology into the education process. 

Another ImagineBox has been established at the Center for Technology in Special Education at the Bar-Ilan University Faculty of Education, and more will be built at several other leading teaching colleges soon.

In the next few months, we are expecting to build around 20 additional ImagineBoxes at schools in several municipalities in Israel's periphery. The overall goal is to have at least one ImagineBox in every Israeli school in order to enable teachers to teach in an innovative and multi-sensoral way, creating a revolution in the education of Israeli children. 

In addition, we are continuing to grow our "Digital Toolbox for Every Teacher" program, with thousands of additional teachers expected to join this year. 

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and partnership in Athena Fund's vision and efforts for empowering teachers in Israel!

Happy Passover!
