Tumo - Center for Creative Technologies

Tumo is a new kind of after-school learning environment where thousands of students aged 12-18 are in charge of their own learning. Guided by skilled educators and mentored by media professionals, students navigate through their personal learning plans via the Tumo World, a special learning interface that prepares them for hands-on practice. Specialized workshops, guest lectures and community events give students a chance to apply their knowledge and skills to the world around them. Tumo students embark on their future careers armed with a broader world view, cutting-edge experience and competitive portfolios. Our aim is to expand young people's horizons and give them the resources to achieve their full creative potential. We aspire to motivate Armenian youth to learn, and encourage them to create new possibilities for themselves. We want to help teenagers discover their talents and acquire the 21st century skills they need to succeed in life. By doing so, we hope to prevent the emigration of the most capable members or Armenia’s future work force. Tumo is a non-profit venture and participation in the Tumo program is free of charge and open to all local teenagers. Since our openinig in September 2011, we have been educating thousands of teenagers who attend on a regular basis.
