What RoboSkola does

RoboSkola operates Latvia's first STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education and technology center, headquartered in Sigulda under parent entity SIA "EVO Group." The company delivers in-person classes at the Sigulda center, mobile workshops that travel to schools across Latvia, and STEAM summer camps for children aged 5–12, alongside teacher training programs. Its curriculum combines VR (ClassVR), modular robotics (Fable), interactive floor projection (FunFloor), augmented-reality sand tables (ImSand, Sanducation), programmable drones (CoDrone EDU), quadruped robots (Deep Robotics Lite3), and electronics kits (Snap Circuits, KORBO).

Commercially, RoboSkola monetizes through four streams: per-session fees for in-person classes (€12/session) and mobile workshops (€10/child), subscription-based hardware rental (ClassVR at €400/month or multi-year lease with buyout, FunFloor mobile rental), direct e-commerce sales of STEAM hardware (€110–€5,380 per SKU), and €300/week summer camps. Since September 2025, 12+ curriculum-aligned sessions are listed in the State Education Development Agency (VIAA) catalog, co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus and Latvian state, which materially expands delivery volume while shifting revenue to public-sector channels.

The company was founded in 2025 by Linda Liepiņa (former National Geographic Latvia chief editor, 20+ years in education) and Jānis Aļeksejevs (10+ years at the Ministry of Interior Affairs Information Center, BETT UK participant). In its first year it reached 14,000 children (up from 2,000 in 2024) and 200+ teachers (4.86/5 average rating). The center expanded in March 2026 with an inclusive education technology room and Latvia's first publicly accessible sensory room, opening attended by Prime Minister Evika Siliņa. An ESF+ grant of EUR 44,260.39 (90% coverage) was secured in February 2026 to scale equipment and pedagogues.

Direct peers

• iD Tech: iD Tech runs STEM and STEAM summer camps, after-school programs, and online courses for children and teens using partner technologies including VR, robotics, and coding platforms. Comparable in business model (camps + classes + technology-mediated curriculum) and target audience (6-18 STEAM learners), with broader U.S. and global scale than RoboSkola.
• MakerKids: MakerKids operates a physical STEAM education center in Toronto plus mobile programming for schools, offering STEM camps, after-school clubs, and workshops in robotics, coding, and electronics. Closely matches RoboSkola's center + mobile + camp model and its focus on ages 6-12 hands-on technology learning.
• Code Ninjas: Code Ninjas is a franchise-based network of STEM/STEAM education centers that teach kids coding, robotics, and game design through after-school programs, camps, and workshops in physical retail spaces. Matches RoboSkola's center-based model, technology-led curriculum, and elementary-age focus, with a much larger international franchise footprint.
• Snapology: Snapology delivers STEAM enrichment programs including camps, classes, workshops, and in-school programs for kids using LEGO, robotics kits, and engineering tools. Directly comparable in curriculum (LEGO/KORBO-style building + robotics), audience (K-6), and multi-channel delivery (mobile + center + camps) to RoboSkola.

Regional players

• RoboCamp: RoboCamp is a Poland-based provider of robotics and programming camps, workshops, and curriculum for children across Central Europe. Closely comparable in robotics-centric curriculum and school-channel delivery, and operates in adjacent EU markets rather than competing head-to-head in Latvia.

Broad incumbents

• LEGO Education: LEGO Education is the established global STEAM/STEM education arm of LEGO, offering curriculum-anchored building sets, teacher training, and classroom programs across K-12. Wider portfolio and global reach, but overlaps with RoboSkola's hands-on construction-toy and engineering curriculum (e.g., KORBO, Snap Circuits in RoboSkola's lineup).
• Discovery Education: Discovery Education is a large, established provider of digital K-12 STEM/STEAM content, teacher resources, and curriculum used in schools globally. Comparable in serving as a STEAM content/infrastructure partner to school systems, but at very different scale and without RoboSkola's center-based delivery.

Others

• Avantis Education (ClassVR): Avantis Education manufactures and distributes the ClassVR platform, which RoboSkola sells, rents, and integrates. A technology supplier and partner rather than a direct competitor—relevant for understanding VR-procurement dynamics for educational channels similar to RoboSkola's.
• Shape Robotics: Shape Robotics is the Danish-origin manufacturer of the Fable modular robotics platform used in RoboSkola's curriculum and sold via RoboSkola's e-commerce. A technology partner/adjacent ecosystem player rather than a competing center; useful as a comparable for the OEM side of ed-tech robotics in Europe.
