BDG’s Digital Summer School is back to bring a vibrant and enriching experience to teenagers during their summer break. We aim to make their vacations brighter, more engaging, and filled with exciting discoveries.
Digital Summer School serves as a platform for professional guidance, self-discovery, and the overall development of teenagers. Over two months, participants will delve into the fundamentals of programming, design, and marketing, and enhance their English communication.
Tailored for students aged 11-16, Digital Summer School caters to those intrigued by digital professions, offering a space for fresh exploration in a captivating and progressive environment during the summer holidays. Participants will be divided into 2 age groups (11-14 and 14-16).
The program encompasses three primary areas: programming, design, and marketing. Through engaging in games and hands-on activities, participants will grasp the fundamentals of these professions, create their own games, develop brand elements, and learn how to effectively present products or skills.
Simultaneously, trainers will focus on identifying participants’ interests, fostering self-expression, and honing communication and presentation skills. The English lessons integrated into the program aim to enhance spoken English and master professional vocabulary.
Thanks to English lessons, they will improve their spoken English and master professional English vocabulary.
Digital Summer School classes are organized from Monday to Thursday, 14:00-18:00. Most of the classes are held in the BDG office (H. Kochar 4). We will have thematic visits to various centers and companies (Armath Lab, Cafesjian Center, Planetarium, etc.).

Maria Sinanyan
I recently completed the BDG SMM Architecture program, and I want to express my gratitude to the entire team, particularly Arman Chilingaryan, for their significant contributions. It’s challenging to put into words the level of competence demonstrated in their teaching. I highly recommend BDG training to anyone interested.

Artin Alexanyan
I have just completed the Graphic Design Advanced course at BDG. The course comprised 7 modules. Our main mentor throughout was Shushan Tonoyan, although each module had its own mentor. We were taught by such skilled professionals as Shushan Tonoyan, Ruben Malayan, Hasmik Avetisyan, Mariam Kanayan, Ara Aslanyan, and Varsine Gevorgyan. The course was fantastic and highly informative. I thoroughly enjoyed the organization and professionalism of the course. It provided me with new skills and a wealth of useful information. I can definitely recommend taking this course for a very good education.
Masha Keheyan

Thank you to the entire BDG team for your competent and professional work. I would definitely recommend BDG, because if you participate in one of the courses, you can become a member of the BDG family, where you will always be supported. During the lessons we received not only theoretical information, but also systematic practical knowledge, due to which the courses became more interesting and effective. Trust me, if you want to get “cool knowledge”, meet happy and positive people, then this is your place. I would like to thank the BDG family for the friends and lecturers I have gained through lessons, who have become advisors on professional achievements.

It’s a pity that one of the colorful periods of our lives is over. A period when we gained practical knowledge, a wonderful environment and friends. I want to express special thanks to Vahagn, due to whose efforts we will become successful professionals in life. And there are no words about Sona. Always friendly, smiling and ready to help. Who knows where our roads will cross, where we will meet again, smile and greet each other warmly. We are leaving each other with the expectations of meetings, and may success accompany us on our future road. Dear Vahagn Karamyan, many thanks.

Recently finished the Agile Project Management course organized by BDG. I would like to express my deep gratitude to BDG staff for organizing it effectively and, most importantly, for choosing such a unique trainer for us, Siranush Kostanyan. I admire her knowledge, professionalism and compassion. A personality whose students fully master the material, due to lovingly sharing his vast knowledge. Dear Siranush, I am proud that there are experts like you in our country and I am sure that their number will increase with your own help and support.

There is no need to talk about the professionalism of the staff and the positive atmosphere.
