On July 7, at the STEMAR office, we had the honor of hosting Naira Hovhakimyan, the Director of the AVIATE Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Armen Der-Kiureghian, the co-founder of the American University of Armenia. The insightful discussion provided us with a better understanding of the priorities within the STEM education sector. Together, we explored ways of intervention to promote positive difference.
