Located in a cutting-edge venue in the Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga Bilbao, it offers training courses based on TUMO’s own methodology, TUMO Path, which combines guided self-learning, practical workshops and project labs with support from professional experts.

The course programme covers technological and creative fields such as robotics, programming, video game development, graphic design, animation, cinema, photography and music, with plans to incorporate other advances fields in the future, such as 3D modelling and generative artificial intelligence from 2027 onwards. The initiative is supported by “la Caixa” Foundation, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and Bilbao City Council.
