General Information
About the program

Generation AI is aimed at empowering and equipping the next generation of AI researchers and innovators with the skills, knowledge, and support needed to thrive in an AI-driven world. Through a multilayer, comprehensive approach to education and professional development, the program is set to create all the necessary framework and support for students to gain proficiencies in advanced mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.

We are achieving this by:

• Providing competencies in math, CS, and AI, and motivating students towards AI and research careers from the secondary school level nationwide,

• Creating tertiary education opportunities in AI fields based on the enhancement of already existing programs and the creation of new ones,

• Creating opportunities to get involved in real-life projects and scientific and industrial research, and entrepreneurial activities along with studies,

• Ensuing decentralization of high-quality and competitive education by enhancing regional educational institutions.

The Generation AI High School Program is the driving force behind the entire initiative, providing the foundation for the various other stages and planned to scale. The high school stage will introduce a special curriculum and teaching methodology to prepare students for further education and careers in AI and related fields.

Designed in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, NGOs, academia, and industry professionals, Generation AI’s integration into the public education system will ensure future sustainability and be a step toward systemic changes in education with long-term benefit for Armenia’s research and technological capacity.

The program will serve as a model for robust public-private partnerships and allow us to introduce best educational practices and international standards to Armenia.
