Armath Program Report 2023

Since its inception in 2011, the Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises (UATE) has remained committed to advancing the Armath Engineering Laboratories educational program. This initiative aims to extend engineering laboratories, enrich technical education resources, and establish a global network of students. Additionally, UATE has continued its efforts to export the Armenian model of technology education to a worldwide audience.

Assessment Based on Project Objectives:

1. Student Engagement: In 2023, the Armath program witnessed the active participation of more than 17300 students in engineering laboratories across Armenia, USA, France, India and other countries.

2. Integrated Labs: The integration of labs into schools, as opposed to standalone structures, has continued to shape realistic expectations and foster a deeper understanding among students when selecting their professions

3. Skill Development: Students have demonstrated proficiency in programming languages and engineering modeling, enabling their active involvement in various competitions, such as ArmRobotics, DigiCode, etc.

4. Collaboration and Teamwork: Collaboration and teamwork continue to be integral to student involvement in various project phases.

5. Labs expansion: Armath Launched new labs expansion project via fundraising campaign. And 8 campaigns are live now and over 52 percent of the overall fundraising budget has been raised by local teams of the communities.
6. Armath has gained 501(c)(3) sertifiaction.

This report reflects the ongoing success and impact of the Armath program, highlighting its achievements in empowering students and contributing to the development of a skilled workforce in technology and engineering.

Armath Program Report 2022-2023

We are pleased to present the Armath Program Report for the year 2022-2023.

Since 2011, the UATE has been dedicated to its mission of establishing the Armath Engineering Laboratories educational program. This initiative aims to expand engineering laboratories, enhance technical education resources, and create a global network of students. Additionally, UATE has initiated the process of exporting the Armenian model of technology education to a worldwide audience.

Assessment Based on Project Objectives:

• In 2022, more than 17,500 students engaged in engineering laboratories across Armenia, Artsakh, Javakhk, and other countries.
• The integration of labs into schools, as opposed to standalone structures, has fostered more realistic expectations and a deeper understanding among students when choosing their professions.
• Remarkably, over 46% of the 2022 graduates have ventured into entrepreneurship, with nearly 9% immediately entering the IT sector.
• Students have acquired proficiency in programming languages and engineering modeling, enabling them to actively participate in various competitions.
• The "Armath" Academy, an accelerator program supporting startups at various development stages, has been a notable success.
• Collaboration and teamwork have been at the forefront of student involvement in nearly all phases of the project.
• There are plans to initiate and expand into various innovative domains, including radio electronics, print design, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, augmented and virtual reality, and agrotechnology.
• A significant achievement has been the active participation of female students, accounting for 40% of participants. 
• From an economic perspective, the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project stands at an estimated 445 billion AMD, with an impressive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) at 574%.
• Furthermore, students have actively represented the Armath program by participating in various IT-related events, showcasing their skills and knowledge on a broader stage.
