    ARMENIAN SCHOOLS ARE INTRODUCED TO MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY COMPUTER PROGRAM

    July 02, 2013 | 01:44

    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.
