Building a Bridge Towards the Future

Recently Team 1322 The G.R.A.Y.T. (Genesee Robotic Area Youth Team) Leviathons were asked by Kettering University to host Team 1946 from Israel for a day of fun in the sun at Spicer’s Orchard. The Leviathons who are one of the host teams that put on both the Kettering Kickoff in September and a Kettering District Robotic Competition in March graciously accepted. The Israeli team had brought over 7 students and 2 mentors to attend the Kettering Kickoff on September 18^th. While in the U.S. for 10 days they ate pizza, went to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, took some classes at Kettering University and spent one day in Chicago. They said that they had the most fun with the Leviathons exploring the corn maze, drinking cider, eating cider doughnuts and taking a ride on the Leviathons dune buggy. They informed us that they would not be allowed to build and drive in a dune buggy back home. Talking to the Israeli team we found that they have received just as much miss information about us as we of them. They were told that Americans we mean and rude but they said every body has been so nice. They are Arab and are living in a small village in Israel with Jewish neighbors and they do not fight like we hear on the news. It is peaceful with groves of olive trees with equipment like we have in our apple orchards to harvest them.
