About RISE

We teach by doing, not by memorizing.

RISE = Reasoning, Informatics, Science, Engineering. We equip students in Armenia with hands-on skills.

Why We Exist

Armenia has talent. We help it grow.

Access to modern computer science is uneven. RISE builds programs that teach problem-solving and connect school to real work.
