About TUMO Center
The TUMO Center for Creative Technologies (TUMO) was opened in Armenia in 2011. Today about 25 thousand Armenian teenagers 12-18 years old are trained free of charge to work in IT using modern technologies (programming, music, robotics, animation, 3D modeling, film production, photography, game development, graphic design and drawing).
The TUMO centers operate not only in Armenia (in Yerevan, Dilijan, Gyumri, Yeghegnadzor, Kapan and Koghb), but also in Germany, France, Lebanon, Portugal, Switzerland, Albania and Ukraine. There are plans to deploy TUMO centers in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Tokyo.
In 2016, TUMO was on the first place in the rating of innovative schools in the world, compiled by the French magazine “We demain”.-0-
