‘Robotics Starts From School=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=: New initiative set to develop ‘engineering thinking=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?= among students

The Union of Information Technology Enterprises (UITE), in cooperation with VivaCell-MTS, Cronimet Charity Foundation, World Vision Armenia and Counterpart International Armenia, plan to set up robotics groups in 50 Armenian schools.

The aim of this initiative is to raise interest among pupils towards robotics, develop their engineering thinking, as well as to prepare potential students for studying in technical universities.

"Year by year the number of students interested in robotics and eager to participate in robotics competitions increases, and they, by the way, have great success during the competitions." In order to promote developments the Union has designed a robot set for the study groups. Currently it is planned to carry out pilot project within the frames of which 50 Armenian schools will be provided relevant sets of educational robots", said UITE Executive Director Karen Vardanyan at a press conference on Wednesday.
