Voskehat village school computer project.

Status: Completed
This project is about furnishing a computer and robotics laboratory in Voskehat secondary school of the Aragatsotn region where kids aged 10-18 are introduced to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education through interactive after-school classes, exciting competitions, innovative camps and more.

Dear Armenian Diaspora Foundation members,

I am honored to present to your attention a program that was the dream of my late mother. Having taught for 35 years in a preschool educational institution, she was deeply convinced that education is the basis of a prosperous society.

This project is about furnishing a computer and robotics laboratory in Voskehat secondary school of the Aragatsotn region where kids aged 10-18 are introduced to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education through interactive after-school classes, exciting competitions, innovative camps and more. The program will be implemented through the ARMATH Engineering Laboratories, which has many years of experience.

Important outcomes of the program are:

  • Stimulation of technological education
  • Regional development
  • Boost economic activity in high-tech and related spheres
  • Creation and strengthening of the bond between the school system, universities, and labor market
  • Ensuring demographic stability of socially-vulnerable communities
  • A new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

Briefly, ARMATH will furnish one laboratory with computers, a 3D printer, a CNC lathe, and other equipment and furniture. They will prepare a specialist who will teach students and organize competitions. The teacher’s salary will be funded by ARMATH.
