55 HEADS OF ROBOTIC ENGINEERING GROUPS FROM ARMENIA'S PROVINCES TO BE TRAINED IN YEREVAN
YEREVAN, July 23. /ARKA/
A one-month retraining course was launched today at Mkhitar Sebastatsi
education center in Yerevan for heads of robotic engineering groups.
This course will provide 55 heads of robotic engineering groups
from Armenia's provinces with skills necessary for teaching robotic
engineering in schools.
They will be trained by leading specialists at National Instruments,
Simotech and Instigate education center as part of the program
"Robotics Starts from School".
At the course-launching ceremony, an understanding memorandum was
signed by VivaCell-MTS, the Union of Information Technology Enterprises
(UITE), the Armenian office of the World Vision International
benevolent organization, Cronimet Charity Foundation, Counterpart
International USAID Project, National Instruments companies, Simotech
company and Instigate education center.
All the organizations wanting to join the program can sign the
memorandum.
Karen Vardanyan, executive director of the Union of Information
Technology Enterprises (UITE) said that the aim of this memorandum
is to attract children's interest to high technologies, particularly
to robotics as well as to develop engineering way of thinking in
their minds and to send already high-quality motivated students
to universities.
VivaCell-MTS CEO Ralph Yirikian, on his side, said that this
cooperation will lay favorable groundwork for taking important steps
to transform robotic engineering from hobby into profession.
"Robotics Starts from School" program, which is being implemented
in cooperation with VivaCell-MTS, Cronimet Charity Foundation as
well as World Vision Armenia and Counterpart International Armenia
organizations, implies creation of 55 robotic engineering groups in
Armenian schools.
The groups are expected to start their activities
in September 2013. ---0---- - See more at:
