Our Philosophy

Robotics is the screwdriver, not the point

They're wonderful tools, and kids love them. But tools aren't the point — what a child builds with them is. The skills that last a lifetime are the human ones — and they're forged by doing difficult things, not by being told about them.

So we build a ladder of increasing complexity for every age, where the challenge sits just past comfortable. The robot is the excuse. The growth is the goal.

Empathy

Reading the room, helping a teammate who's stuck.

Public speaking

Explaining your build to a room full of parents.

Collaboration

Sharing a kit, a plan, and the credit.

Problem solving

Staying with a hard thing until it works.

Innovation

Trying the idea nobody asked for.

Team building

Leading, following, and knowing which is needed.

Montessori-Inspired

Why we mix ages on purpose

An older student helping a younger one with their build

You'll see an eleven-year-old helping a six-year-old work out why their motor spins backwards. That's deliberate — borrowed from Montessori.

Older kids become mentors. Explaining an idea out loud is the fastest way to find out whether you really understand it.
Younger kids learn faster from peers. Someone who figured it out five minutes ago explains it in exactly the right words.
Instructors guide throughout. The mixing is a feature we designed in — not a gap we're papering over.

My child has participated in two after school enrichment classes through the AI & Robotics Academy. Instructors Eddie and Joshua were engaging and fun to learn from. I appreciated the thorough recap at the end of the class series so I could discuss class content with my child!

Make games with your hands in the air

Our online game design classes start somewhere unusual: kids build games they control by waving at the webcam — real AI vision, real movement, no sitting still. Then they climb all the way to building games like the pros.

No robot kit to ship
Just a laptop & webcam

Level 1

Wave-to-Play Games

Ages 7–10

Build games you play by waving your hands at the camera. Jump, duck, swipe — your body is the controller.

Level 2

Game Studio

Ages 9–12

Design your own worlds: levels, characters, power-ups and sound. Then send the link to your friends.

Level 3

Pro Game Dev

Ages 11–12

Real code, big mechanics, multiplayer ideas — build the kind of game you actually like playing.

Our Team

The grown-ups who make it click

Engineers, educators and competition mentors — chosen as much for patience as for credentials.

Anshu Yadav

Founder & Robotics Instructor

I founded AI & Robotics Academy because I wanted my own children to grow up fluent in the tools that are reshaping the world. With a Master's in Biotechnology, a Bachelor's in Education and a background in Data Science, I bring scientific depth, real classroom craft and technical skill together. For over five years I've been igniting curiosity in students from elementary school through college — and the moment a child's face changes when their robot finally works never gets old.
