YEREVAN. - The schools in Armenia are being introduced to computer
and technology courses which become a basis for robotics, Instigate
Company Director Arman Poghosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
The aforementioned courses use the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT)-created Scratch program which has been
"armenianized." As a result, it will be possible to not only construct
scenarios and games, but to control robots.
"This enables [the children] to learn the principles of [computer]
programming. The system is very similar to a robot; you can give [it]
commands," Poghosyan said.
The program has begun to be introduced in about twenty schools in
Armenia. As of September, robot construction teams will be formed in
fifty schools, and an attempt will be made to apply the "armenianized"
Scratch program in these schools, too.
