Installations and sponsorships
In 2002, Intelitek provided a $350,000 grant to Gilbert High School, installing a state-of-the-art robotics lab in the school's former wood shop. This was the first such high school robotics lab in the state of Arizona.[4]
In 2007, the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Sergei Ivanov, visited the Ufa State Aviation Technical University to tour an educational "Technopark" stocked with sophisticated equipment. One of the key features of the facility was a mini-CNC lathe purchased from Intelitek. The Technopark was Russia's only facility to have this level of equipment.[5]
