The TUMO Center for Creative Technologies celebrated its 15th anniversary with a jubilee evening in Los Angeles. The event honored Vahe Kuzoyan and Ara Mahdessian from ServiceTitan, as well as Reva Lebaredian from NVIDIA. The gathering united partners, alumni, philanthropists, and supporters of the organization, and simultaneously served as a platform to attract support for TUMO's further development in Armenia.

The main theme of the anniversary was the expansion of the educational network. TUMO plans to open centers in new communities across the country so that more Armenian teenagers can receive free technological and creative education regardless of their place of residence.

Founded in Yerevan in 2011, TUMO has grown into an international network, engaging over 40,000 teenagers every week, including over 25,000 in Armenia. Over 100,000 people have completed the program in 15 years.

Education remains completely free and includes 14 directions: artificial intelligence, programming, robotics, animation, filmmaking, game development, 3D modeling, music, photography, and graphic design.
