Central Province
Robotics & AI classes for kids in Kandy
Specialist robotics teaching in the Central Province is concentrated in Kandy town, which is fine if you live in Kandy town and a real problem if you live in Gampola, Katugastota, Peradeniya or anywhere up the hill roads. kidslab.lk removes the geography from the question entirely: the class is live online, so a child in Kandy district joins the same session, with the same teachers, as a child in Colombo.

Why online works for Kandy families
Hill-country distances are not measured in kilometres so much as in time. Twenty kilometres outside Kandy can be an hour each way on roads no one wants a child travelling after dark, which quietly rules out most evening classes. An online session removes that constraint, and with it the reason a lot of Central Province families never start.
Classes are taught in English with Sinhala explanation where it helps, which for most Kandy families matches how school science is already taught. The Sinhala version of this site is at /si if that is the language you would rather read the details in.
Questions from Kandy
Are there robotics classes for children in Kandy that do not require travelling into town?
kidslab.lk is taught entirely online, so a child anywhere in Kandy district — Gampola, Katugastota, Peradeniya or the town itself — joins from home. There is no branch to travel to, in Kandy or anywhere else.
What internet connection does my child need in the hill country?
An ordinary home broadband or 4G connection is enough; the sessions are built to work on the kind of connection most Sri Lankan homes have rather than on a fast one. A laptop or desktop is needed for the programming parts, since the tools involved are awkward on a phone.
Start with the free seminar
Day one is a free introductory session with no obligation to enrol — the cheapest way to find out whether this suits your child before any money changes hands.
