Blaise Metreweli-MI6 appoints first female chief in 116-year history

Blaise Metreweli will take over from Sir Richard Moore MI6 will be led by a woman for the first time in the foreign intelligence service's 116-year history.


Ms Metreweli, who joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1999.

Who studied anthropology at the University of Cambridge, has previously held director level roles in MI5 - MI6's sister, domestic security agency - and spent most of her career working in the Middle East and Europe.

She is currently Director General "Q" - head of the crucial technology and innovation division that aims to keep the identities of secret agents secret, and come up with new ways to evade adversaries like China's biometric surveillance.


And will become the 18th chief of the MI6.


MI6 is tasked
with gathering intelligence overseas to improve the UK's security, with its core aims being to stop terrorism, disrupt the activities of hostile states and bolster cyber-security.

Its chief, commonly referred to as "C", is the only publicly named member of the service.


Challenges 
"The threats we are looking at primarily exist around protecting government, protecting secrets, protecting our people - so counter-assassination - protecting our economy, sensitive technology and critical knowledge," she said.

Geographically challenges emanate primarily from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, as the four nations co-operate ever more closely to undermine UK and Western interests across the globe.

Ozobots - Educational  bots Ozobot is a small, smart robot designed to introduce students to coding and robotics in a fun, hands-on way,  In its basic form, the Ozobot uses optic sensors to follow a drawn black line. The addition of color codes allows the robot to change direction or speed and allows students to create cool moves like a backwalk or tornado. Nader Hamda sets out to make small robots with a big mission. His 10-year-old daughter names the project Ozobot. After two years of testing and prototyping, Bit—the original Ozobot—is unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, Aug 2014 . Key Features and Functionality: Programmable : Ozobots can be programmed through color codes drawn on paper or via the OzoBlockly platform, allowing users to control its movements and actions.  Screen-Free Coding: The color code method is a screen-free way to learn coding, making it accessible for young learners.  Interactive Learning: Ozobots encourage hands-on learning and problem-solving, ...
