If Paul Berberian had his way, kindergarteners would start coding as soon as they could count to 10 and recite the alphabet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Computation, Berberian believes, is the\u00a0lingua franca<\/em>\u00a0of the future. \u201cEvery child must learn about these machines\u2014how to communicate with them, how they interact with each other,\u201d he says. \u201cOtherwise they will be without a language to talk to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Berberian is CEO of\u00a0Sphero<\/a>, the Boulder, Colorado-based maker of smartphone-controlled robots that are already transforming STEM instruction around the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He will flesh out his tech-centric educational vision at the 2017\u00a0INNOVATE ARMENIA<\/a>\u00a0festival on Saturday, September 23, at USC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s world population of Sphero robots\u2014including the company\u2019s popular Star Wars BB-8 and R2-D2 droids, which topped many a child\u2019s 2016 Christmas wish list\u2014exceeds 3 million. The orb-shaped smart gadgets are sold in 70 countries, and the mobile app that controls them is available in seven languages, including Mandarin and Portuguese. A million schoolchildren now use Sphero in classrooms worldwide.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The educational version of Sphero comes bundled in a 12-pack suitcase that teachers can wheel from classroom to playground to the art studio and even the pool deck.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The robot is waterproof, battery-efficient and, according to Berberian, virtually indestructible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A straightforward math lesson has third graders programming their robots to sketch a square. Go 2 feet, turn 90 degrees left, repeat. \u201cIt\u2019s eight lines of code. Very simple,\u201d says Berberian. Next, they\u2019re asked to \u201cdrive\u201d a triangle. By the end of the class, these 8-year-olds have independently discovered 7th<\/sup>\u00a0grade-level concepts like the Pythagorean theorem. Before long, they\u2019re navigating elaborate mazes using precision measurements, irregular angles, variable timing and other sophisticated spatial concepts.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rethinking STEM<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Berberian\u2019s talk is part of an outside-the-box festival that explores what it means to be Armenian in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century and celebrates the accomplishments of innovators everywhere \u2013 especially and including in Armenia. STEM has always been an important component of education and excellence in Armenia.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century is about reimagining and reinventing so many things,\u201d says USC Institute of Armenian Studies director Salpi Ghazarian. \u201cA consistent tool in this process is technology and how it can be bent in new ways.\u00a0 Armenians have, and continue to, excel in STEM fields \u2013 science, technology, engineering and math.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INNOVATE ARMENIA is now in its third year. Last year\u2019s festival, which focused on the digital humanities, drew 3,000 attendees and 20,000 more watched online. This year\u2019s program has an emphasis on re-imagining and re-inventing, with an emphasis on STEM education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Armenia\u2019s young people, from throughout the country, not just Yerevan, continue to punch above their weight, as demonstrated by impressive Armenian medal counts at the annual\u00a0International Mathematics Competition (IMC) for university students<\/a>\u00a0and the International Mathematical Olympiad for high school students. At INNOVATE ARMENIA, IMC silver medalist Gevorg Mnatsakanyan will represent the 2017 Yerevan State University team. All four team members won gold or silver at last month\u2019s competition in Bulgaria, and students from other Armenian universities bagged four additional medals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From California, NASA engineer and USC professor Michael Kezirian and his students will bring and demonstrate Aerocene \u2013 an inflatable hot air balloon at the intersection of art, engineering and environmental science.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There will also be a Makerspace equipped with laser cutters and 3D printers, where engineers and students from PCC, USC and CalTech will create an environment for collaborative creation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Armenians produce a disproportionately large number of chess masters, too. More than merely the national pastime, chess is a required subject in the Armenian school curriculum. At INNOVATE ARMENIA, top-five ranked U.S. national women\u2019s chess team member Tatev Abrahamyan, and international master and coach Andranik Matikozyan will play against attendees one-on-one and in simultaneous games.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This festival makes it possible for everybody to rethink and reimagine, Ghazarian notes, especially in a city as multiethnic as Los Angeles. \u201cAnyone, including those whose ancestors arrived on the Mayflower, will find something to pique their interest,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More festival highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Billed as a day of discovery, science, music, food, wine, chess and lively conversation, INNOVATE ARMENIA 2017 features back-to-back speakers in Bovard Auditorium, such as the. robotic demonstration-talk by Sphero CEO Paul Berberian. Other headliners include\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0columnist David Ignatius and his brother,\u00a0Harvard Business Review\u00a0<\/em>editor-in-chief Adi Ignatius; 2016 Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Peter Balakian and 2016 Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen; and global humanitarian manager Hovig Etyemezian, chief of the\u00a0Mosul operation of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the USC Doheny Library, a unique installation of 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century postcards from Armenian areas of the Ottoman Empire are juxtapositioned with lifesize images of some of the same spaces, today.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cUNDELIVERABLE: Postcards and Photos of Lives Interrupted\u201d<\/a>\u00a0is a pointed, impactful way of rethinking the loss brought on by the genocide and the civilization that no longer exists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A music stage will feature innovative musicians from throughout the US and Armenia, all day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

General festival information<\/u>:<\/p>\n
