 generous stipend)

 and elsewhere
* A chance to make a difference

Sound like something you want to be a part of?

MEET (Middle East Education through Technology) is a high-octane
teaching program that brings together top Israeli and Palestinian high
school youth into a technology-based curriculum. The three-year
program runs all year round, but the five-week summer sessions are the
peak of activity - the heart of the program. And as MEET aims to be
the world's best youth-oriented educational program for computer
science and entrepreneurship, it needs the very best instructors
(YOU!).

APPLICATIONS ARE ONLINE (see link at bottom).
