We’re thrilled to announce that BuildUp School is evolving with a fresh, global vision and cutting-edge learning tools. Formerly known as “BuildUp Bootcamp,” we’ve transformed our name and approach to better reflect our commitment to empowering students everywhere. With our new international domain at www.buildup.school, we’re ready to bring our unique education model to a worldwide audience.

Introducing the BuildUp Chrome Extension: Problem-Based Learning Meets AI

One of our most exciting innovations we have been working on last year is the BuildUp Chrome Extension (link). The Chrome Extension integrates AI-driven problem-based learning directly into the student’s workflow. With personalized challenges and real-world problems, the AI agent engages students in hands-on tasks, allowing them to learn by doing and adapt quickly. This tool isn’t just about theoretical knowledge; it provides practical, impactful experiences that help students master the skills they need for real-world scenarios.

Launching in Armenia This January

We’re thrilled to announce that BuildUp School will officially launch in Armenia this January! We encourage anyone interested in joining this journey to follow us on social media for updates. Through our new platform, we aim to foster an environment of continuous learning and critical thinking, preparing students to thrive in today’s competitive global market.

Expanding Globally While Keeping Education Free for Armenia

At BuildUp School, we believe that everyone deserves access to an education that truly prepares them for real-world success. That’s why, as we expand worldwide, we’re committed to keeping our courses free for Armenian citizens—forever. By offering this world-class education to Armenians at no cost, we aim to ensure that local talent has equal access to the skills and tools needed to thrive in global markets. Whether they’re interested in building digital products or developing critical problem-solving skills, Armenian students will always have a place at BuildUp School.

A Special Thanks to Our Community

While the 2023 financial recession posed challenges, causing us to lose funding from some corporate donors, our mission didn’t stop. Thanks to our community’s generous support on GoFundMe, we’ve been able to continue our transformation and bring this vision to life. We’re grateful to each supporter who believed in our work and helped us push forward.

BuildUp School is just getting started. With the help of our new AI-powered tools and problem-based learning approach, we’re creating an educational model that meets the demands of tomorrow. 

Join us as we continue to break new ground in education—together.
