The Future of Kids Robotics Education in Sri Lanka

The world is rapidly moving into a digital era. To ensure your child stays ahead of the curve, introducing them to technology at an early age is essential. Suma Automation Kids Robotics Course is specially designed for Sri Lankan children aged 10-14 to learn robotics and programming in a fun, engaging way.

Our course is 100% hands-on, allowing children to explore electronics, circuits, and C programming like they're playing games. By the end, they will have built their very own obstacle avoidance robot from scratch.

Why Should Your Child Learn Robotics?

Future-Ready Skills

By 2030, approximately 85% of jobs will be technology-related. Learning coding and robotics early prepares your child for the future workforce.

Develops Logical Thinking

Building robots teaches children problem-solving and logical thinking skills that benefit all areas of life and academics.

📌 මෙම පාඨමාලාව 10-14 වයස් කාණ්ඩයේ දරුවන් සඳහා නිර්මාණය කර ඇත. කිසිදු පූර්ව අත්දැකීමක් අවශ්‍ය නොවේ. මූලික පරිගණක භාවිතය පමණක් දැන සිටියහොත් ප්‍රමාණවත්ය.

පාඨමාලාව සම්පූර්ණ කිරීමට කොපමණ කාලයක් ගතවේද?

📌 පාඨමාලාව සති 12ක් පුරා පැවැත්වේ. සෑම සෙනසුරාදා දිනකම පැය 3 බැගින්. සම්පූර්ණ පැය 36ක පුහුණුවක්.

මගේ දරුවාට තනි උපකරණ කට්ටලයක් ලැබේද?

📌 ඔව්, සෑම දරුවෙකුටම තමන්ගේම Arduino කට්ටලයක්, සංවේදක, මෝටර, සහ රොබෝ සිරුරක් ලබා දෙනු ලැබේ. පන්ති කාලය තුළ පමණක් නොව, නිවසේදීද භාවිතා කිරීමට හැකිය.

පාඨමාලාව සඳහා වාරික ගෙවීමේ පහසුකම් තිබේද?

📌 ඔව්, පාඨමාලා ගාස්තුව වාරික 3ක් වශයෙන් ගෙවීමේ පහසුකම පවතී. විස්තර සඳහා අප අමතන්න.

පාඨමාලාව අසමත් වුවහොත් කුමක් කළ යුතුද?

📌 අසමත් වන සිසුන්ට නොමිලේ නැවත පුහුණු වීමේ අවස්ථාව ලබා දෙනු ලැබේ.
