Southern Province
Robotics & AI classes for kids in Galle
kidslab.lk is a Southern Province academy — the office is in Matara, a little over an hour down the coast from Galle, and the founders studied at the University of Ruhuna, whose Faculty of Engineering is at Hapugala in Galle district. Families in Galle are, in a literal sense, closest to where this was built, even though the teaching itself reaches the whole country online.

Why online works for Galle families
Galle town has options; the rest of the district largely does not. A family in Elpitiya, Ambalangoda or Baddegama choosing an in-person class in Galle is committing to the Galle Road twice a session for three months. Online removes that, and it is the difference between the programme being possible and not for most of the district.
The Faculty of Engineering the instructors graduated from is at Hapugala, inside Galle district — so the qualification behind the teaching is one local families can check for themselves rather than take on trust.
Questions from Galle
Is kidslab.lk connected to the University of Ruhuna in Galle?
The founders are graduates of the University of Ruhuna's Faculty of Engineering at Hapugala, Galle. kidslab.lk is an independent academy and not a university programme — the connection is the instructors' qualifications, not an institutional affiliation.
Can we visit the academy from Galle?
The office is at Hittatiya Central, Matara, which is roughly an hour from Galle by the coast road, and you are welcome to call ahead. It is not required at any point: enrolment, classes and support all happen online.
