Robotics & AI classes for kids in Negombo

Negombo is close enough to Colombo that parents are often told to look there for a specialist class. But it's far enough that this means the Colombo commute twice a week. kidslab.lk avoids that problem. Classes are taught live online by Computer Engineering graduates of the University of Ruhuna, and your child joins from home, whether you're in Negombo, Ja-Ela, Katunayake or anywhere else in Gampaha district.

Why online works for Negombo families

Most families underestimate the trip from Negombo into Colombo for an evening class. It's fine the first time and tiring by the third month. Without that trip, a family is much more likely to finish the twelve weeks instead of slowly dropping off.

Gampaha is one of the most densely populated districts in the country, so the local classes that do exist fill up fast. An online class isn't limited by the size of a room. Getting a place doesn't depend on living in the right part of the district.

Questions from Negombo

Do you run classes in Negombo itself?

The classes are online, and your child joins from home in Negombo. There's no physical class or branch in the town. The academy's only office is in Matara, and you never need to visit it.

Are places limited, like local classes in Gampaha?

Seats in the free introductory seminar are limited, because it's a live session with a fixed number of places. But the limit has nothing to do with where you live. Your part of Gampaha district makes no difference to whether you can get in.

Start with the free seminar

Day one is a free introductory session, and you don't have to enrol afterwards. It's an easy way to see whether this suits your child before you pay anything.
