2025 Highlights In 2025, more than 17,000 students engaged in Armath makerspaces, gaining practical skills in engineering, programming, and robotics through project-based learning.

The year was marked by strong international engagement. Armath students participated in multiple global robotics championships, achieving notable results and representing Armenia with distinction. They also showcased their innovations at DigiTec 2025, presenting robotics and smart engineering projects to industry leaders and international audiences.
These activities further strengthened students’ technical capabilities, global exposure, and connection to real-world applications.

In 2026, Armath is focused on expanding both reach and depth of impact.
Key developments include: Launch of new makerspaces in underserved communities
Modernization of existing labs with updated equipment and advanced learning modules
Expansion of advanced tracks such as UAV, AI, and applied robotics Increased participation and success in international competitions and collaborative programs
Growth of experiential learning initiatives, including camps and real-world problem-solving projects

These efforts aim to ensure that more students have access to high-quality STEM education while strengthening Armenia’s position in the global innovation ecosystem.

Disclaimer The activities and achievements described above were implemented with the support of funding sources and donations outside of this platform and were not financed through the funds associated with this report.

Upgrade in Lori region started successfully

By Maya Shahumyan | Project Manager

Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors beyond this platform, we’ve successfully upgraded 6 of the 18 Armath Engineering Makerspaces in Armenia’s Lori region. These much-needed improvements have restored essential tools—like computers, robotics kits, and engineering equipment—that allow students to dive back into hands-on STEM learning, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.

The impact is already visible. Students of the upgraded makerspaces are actively continuing their projects—designing robots, coding apps, building prototypes—and once again have the resources they need to explore their creativity and expand their technical skills. The upgrades were truly essential to ensure their learning could move forward without interruption.

But this is only the beginning. It’s one step closer to our vision of reaching 4,000 children in Lori with access to quality STEM education that can shape their futures and empower them to become the next generation of Armenian innovators.

Still, 12 makerspaces remain in urgent need of support. Without updated equipment, many students face challenges in continuing their projects at the same level. To reach every child, we need more partners to join us on this journey. Every contribution—big or small—helps us open doors for students who are eager to learn, build, and dream big.
