Visit of ORT Montreal Mission

During their trip to Latin America, ORT Montreal Mission visited ORT Argentina Schools on July 13th with the aim of strengthening the bonds between both Institutions. They were welcomed by members of the local Board of Directors, the School Principals and Senior Staff of the Institution.

At Belgrano campus, ORT Montreal representatives visited the different school laboratories and facilities, and the Teaching & Learning Resources Center (“CREA”). Students from the Industrial Design track and the Information and Communication Technology track showed the visitors some of their projects: the Citroen car Redesign and the Mouse Emulator for disabled people, among others. Then, students from the Mass Media track interviewed the President of ORT Montreal, Jacob Kincler, at the TV studio of the Institution.

Later on that day, they had a tour around Almagro campus, and stopped at the Chemistry Laboratory. After that, students from the Electronics track made a presentation on Robots and their characteristics.

ORT Argentina had the great pleasure of welcoming Jacob Kincler, President of ORT Montreal; Dr. Mel Schwartz, Past President of ORT Canada; Mayer Ghoddoussi, ORT Montreal Board Member; Stella Gelerman, ORT Montreal Board member, Fundraising honorees; David Gelerman, Fundraising honorees in 2006; Barbara Weiss, ORT Montreal supporter; and Dr. Eliot Goldberg, ORT Montreal supporter.
