Armenians have a very rich history of innovation — but in the face of the last hundred years of unprecedented difficulties, how do we ensure the next generation has a chance to continue this tradition of creativity and contribution to humanity? The world’s first SMART Center will open in Lori, Armenia in November 2017. And it will literally plug in this remote region to the world through the use of modern technology and proficiency in English. SMART is a novel model for the world’s forgotten children to connect with the global economy, so they can gain the knowledge and skills they need — and someday become our future inventors.
