Learning in the AI Era
New tools.
Strong foundations.
If AI can generate answers and write code, why should children learn STEM, robotics and coding? Because understanding helps them ask better questions, test ideas and make sense of the results.
STEM gives children practice reasoning with evidence. Robotics turns ideas into something they can build, measure and improve. Coding helps them understand the instructions behind the technology and work out what needs to change.
At Zebra, students develop these foundations through hands-on projects, one challenge at a time — building the understanding to create thoughtfully with the tools of today and tomorrow.
Interview · Nationwide 90 FM, Jamaica · 1:19
“There is a need to understand programming.”
Prof. Jonathan Kelly
Director, STARS Lab, University of Toronto
Zebra Robotics Advisory Board member
From the interview
What skills help students get the most from AI?
Prof. Kelly points first to mathematics and programming. Those foundations help students understand how AI tools work, use them with judgment and recognize their limits.
If AI can write code, why learn programming?
AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude can produce remarkable results from a prompt. But students still need to understand programming to know what the generated code does and whether it works as intended.
What is the risk of using AI without the fundamentals?
Students can end up relying on something an AI tool built that they do not fully understand — and miss serious limitations in what it produced.

Edmonton SW Parents Say

Families who send their children to our Edmonton SW lab, in their own words.
“This group is amazing! My son goes to Robatic class and he loves it. He is so looking forward for his class every week.”

“This group is amazing! My son goes to Robatic class and he loves it. He is so looking forward for his class every week. Aruna and Sachin the owners are wonderful and so flexible and accomodating. The content is rich and instructors are very passionate, knowlegable and encouraging. One of the biggest difference I saw between Zebrea Robatic and other classes is the way they teach kids to approach and solve a problem. There are set of challanges on each lesson which kids need to think and find a way to solve them and the instructor direct them but do not give out the answer. I highly recommand Riverbend branch.”Maryam R · Parent · Edmonton SW “My two kids came to try out a class a few weeks ago and couldn't stop asking when they could come back.”

“My two kids came to try out a class a few weeks ago and couldn't stop asking when they could come back. So, now they are enrolled in a regular class that meets once a week. They are challenged, learning, engrossed and interested, and motivated by coaches who are knowledgeable, meet the students where they are at and take them beyond. We are thankful for this location, its friendly owners, and this amazing chance for my kids to participate in such meaningful learning and exploration.”Mattana C · Parent · Edmonton SW “Absolutely recommend! The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely passionate about coding and robotics.”
