The Israeli technology scene is extremely varied. Many young startups receive mentoring from veteran companies such as Intel, which is an active participant in global technological developments. Hi-tech companies involved with the music industry, for example, are creating exciting new successful apps that are receiving international attention.

Largest programming contest 
Hundreds of Israeli schools are participating in the biggest programming contest in Israeli history. It has begun in middle and high schools throughout the country. Winning schools will come away with prizes totaling NIS 100,000. The purpose of the contest is for students to learn to write code using CodeMonkey, an interactive computer game that was developed by an Israeli startup. The contest was initiated by the Israel Center for Educational Technology and international technology companies such as Qualcomm and Marvell.

CodeMonkey is a Web-based game in which players try to help the monkey gather as many bananas as possible while at the same time trying to overcome a variety of obstacles by writing code. The game has 90 levels and exposes players to an array of computer-sciences subjects and helps them develop skills such as problem solving, architectural design, geometric reasoning, math and even English language.
