YEREVAN—How children spend their summer vacation is an issue that most parents plan out months ahead of time. Those days should be fun yet educational, exciting yet safe and, ideally, should encourage a deeper understanding of culture. The TUMO summer camp is designed with those priorities in mind.
Camp TUMO gives teens from around the world the chance to take part in the innovative TUMO educational program
Camp TUMO gives teens from around the world the chance to take part in the innovative TUMO educational program where they can learn animation, filmmaking, web development, and game development at TUMO’s state-of-the-art facilities and with teachers from around the world. They can also build on these areas by mastering a range of complementary skills such as robotics, photography, drawing, or 3D modeling. By the end of just one week, TUMO campers will have learned enough to complete their own project in their chosen area.
The TUMO Center for Creative Technologies is an after-school and summer program where participants are mentored by coaches, have access to cutting-edge technology, and work side-by-side with industry professionals.
