Robotics & AI classes for kids in Negombo
Negombo sits close enough to Colombo that families are often told to look there for a specialist class, and far enough that doing so means the Colombo commute twice a week. kidslab.lk sidesteps the trade-off: the teaching is live and online, delivered by Computer Engineering graduates of the University of Ruhuna, and joined from home in Negombo, Ja-Ela, Katunayake or anywhere else in Gampaha district.

Why online works for Negombo families
The run from Negombo into Colombo for an evening class is the part most families underestimate — it is manageable once and wearing by the third month. Removing it is what makes a twelve-week programme something a family finishes rather than quietly stops attending.
Gampaha is one of the most densely populated districts in the country, which means the local classes that do exist fill quickly. An online cohort is not constrained by a room, so a place does not depend on living near the right part of the district.
Questions from Negombo
Do you run classes in Negombo itself?
The classes are online, joined from home in Negombo — there is no physical class or branch in the town. The academy's only office is in Matara, and visiting it is never necessary.
Is a place limited, the way local classes in Gampaha are?
Seats in the free introductory seminar are limited because it is a live session with a fixed number of places, but that limit is not geographic. Where you live in Gampaha district makes no difference to whether you can get in.
