ORT Argentina

What ORT Argentina does

ORT Argentina is a private, nonprofit Jewish educational institution founded in 1935 as part of the global World ORT network. It operates four physical campuses in Argentina: two in Buenos Aires (Almagro at Yatay 240 and Belgrano at Av. del Libertador 6796), one in Tigre (Buenos Aires Province), and one in Rosario (Santa Fe). The institution delivers primary education (Years 1-6), secondary education with ten specialization tracks (TIC, Design, Business Management, Biotechnology, Media Production, Construction & Design, Mechatronics, and others), and five official tertiary programs (Systems Analysis, Biotechnology, Music Production, Digital Design, Industrial Design) that confer official titles ("Títulos Oficiales"). Its customer base is students and families drawn primarily from the Argentine Jewish community, with corporate and adult learners as a secondary segment.

The technology foundation centers on the AI & Robotics Research and Development Laboratory and the Campus Virtual ORT learning platform (campus.ort.edu.ar). The lab supports applied projects including LAIKA Rescue Dog (a Unitree Go2 robot equipped with thermal cameras for disaster response), Sirena AI (a flood-prediction web app using a proprietary machine learning model that ingests historical climate, geographic, topographic, and urban variables), Filmter (a student-developed microplastics-remediation project using a 3D bio-printed bacterial matrix), and Neurolearning (an app for neurodivergent children). Students work with Unitree robotics platforms, LiDAR, drones, cameras, microphones, and the institution's own 3D bio-printer. The digital campus hosts the NEO educational newsletter and content distribution, and student media production includes the Nodos streaming videocast.

The business model is tuition-driven, with subscription/recurring revenue from K-12 enrollment across four campuses, plus fees from official tertiary programs, corporate training (Cursos a Empresas), and the Unidad de Capacitación. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective families engage Admissions departments per campus directly via email, WhatsApp, or on-campus visits. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the institutional website, organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube), the NEO newsletter, Jewish community networks (AMIA, World ORT, Zionist organizations), and informational campus events. The institution is governed by a Commission Directive chaired by Dr. Guillermo Feldberg, with Ing. Julio Nieva Moreno as Executive Director; its position is reinforced by third-party validation from Google Academy, Mercado Libre, Renault, Unitree Robotics, CONICET, Hospital Garrahan, AIDIS, ITBA, Universidad de San Andrés, and a sustained student competition record (105 Canguro Matemático medals, Robotraffic silver medal, Argentine national winner of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, and IMO national team selections).
