Virtual Camp Tumo

Summary

The Camp TUMO project was designed to provide teenagers from remote and border communities of Armenia with access to innovative educational opportunities in technology and design. Implemented by the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies with support from the Izmirlian Foundation, the project enabled young people who did not have access to a TUMO center in their communities to experience TUMO’s educational approach through an intensive summer programme in Yerevan.

The project brought 20 young people aged 10–18 from nine border villages of Tavush Province to Camp TUMO for a one-week learning experience.
