[ ABOUT ] since 2018
RoboLab — a school of modern technology for children and adults in Cyprus
Founded in 2018 by a team of programmers and enthusiasts who wanted to create a modern IT school, first and foremost for their own children.
The school's first teachers were its founders. Today RoboLab helps children and teenagers aged 5 to 19 learn modern technologies, create their own projects and progress step by step from their first experience of computers and robotics to professional IT fields. More than 400 people study at the school every year.
