First TUMO educational center for creative technologies opened in  Uruguay

ArmInfo. The first TUMO educational center for creative technologies has opened in Uruguay.

Corporacion America Airports invested $10 million in the construction  of the 2,500-square-meter building.  The center includes a spacious  self-study room, a robotics room, various workshops, a music studio,  a rehearsal room, and a recording studio. It is equipped with the  latest technology: 250 modern computers, musical instruments  (guitars, drums, pianos, bass guitars), production equipment, digital  equalizers, soundproof booths, and more.

Designed for teenagers aged 12-18, the TUMO Center offers an  alternative educational experience based on self-study, hands-on  workshops, and projects supported by mentors and industry experts.

According to a statement from Armenia International Airports CJSC,  the Center will be able to accommodate 1,000 students per week, but  plans to expand its capacity to 1,500 students per week in the  future, given high demand.

Martin Eurnekian, CEO of Corporacion America Airports, emphasized the  importance of creating institutions that foster the development of  young talent: "Education is a tool for transformation and inclusion,  which is why we believe in initiatives like TUMO and are committed to  supporting their development in Uruguay." TUMO International Director  Chris Shahinian stated that at TUMO, teenagers don't just acquire  skills-they learn how to learn. "They explore technology and design,  experiment, fail, try again, and in the process, discover their  potential. That's why this center isn't just a building, but a  commitment to the youth of Uruguay," he said.

During the event, Google Public Policy and Government Affairs Manager  Tamara Kolodenko announced that Google will collaborate with TUMO in  Uruguay over the next two years, providing students with access to  high-quality education, particularly in the field of artificial  intelligence.

According to the source, the opening of the TUMO center in Uruguay  took place in the presence of the President of the Republic,  Professor Yamandu Orsi, and representatives of national and local  governments.

The TUMO Center for Creative Technologies was founded in Armenia and  today operates in more than ten countries. With over 35,000 active  students and over 80,000 alumni, the program has become one of the  most innovative educational models in the world.
