It’s that jaw-dropping time of month when we look back at what our students have been up to. So, we humbly present for your consideration a small selection of teen creations from the past month.

 #NOTKIDDING LEAVE IT TO AI

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic, so TUMOians in Microsoft AI specialist Shahbaz Mogal’s lab used machine learning to create a program that gets it. In a learning lab organized in collaboration with Beeline Armenia, students used NLP (natural language processing) to analyze and detect even the most subtle undertones in texts.

#THELONGWAY SCULPTING PORTRAITS

Illustrator and teacher Victor Melamed made sure that his TUMO students had the courage to question their work, get unstuck and evolve as artists. In his learning lab, TUMOians picked famous characters, researched their features, created sculptures, photographed them in a DIY studio and transformed their sculptures into illustrations. See all the lab results here.

#BORDERLINE AWESOME

A horror movie that includes Gyumri’s oldest barbershop, parrots, funky tunes, and some ears that went missing, by Gyumri TUMOian Melanya Vardanyan.
