Young Innovators Robotics Lab – Robotics, Coding, AI & 3D Printing Classes for Kids in Langley, Abbotsford & the Fraser Valley

Young Innovators Robotics Lab runs hands-on STEM programs — robotics, coding, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing — for children ages 6 to 14 across Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, North Delta, Tsawwassen and Ladner, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and White Rock, BC. Founded by Akhilesh and Suhasini, it is a locally owned Canadian business rather than a franchise, and its curriculum is aligned to the BC government’s Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST) curriculum.

Classes are small and run at community venues in each city, typically 1.5 hours once a week for five to six weeks, with spring and summer break camps, one-day Pro D workshops, and an annual Battle Bots tournament filling out the calendar. Instructors are STEM professionals with teacher training, first aid certification, and criminal record checks. No prior coding or robotics experience is needed.
