RoboGenius, one of India’s leading STEM education companies, has launched its ‘Built to Build AI’ initiative – bringing the new LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI and LEGO® Education Science kits to schools across India. As an official LEGO® Education partner, RoboGenius is among the first in the country to introduce these next-generation classroom experiences, giving Indian students an early, hands-on introduction to artificial intelligence and modern science
Helping Children Build AI, Not Just Use It
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the future of work and learning, and Indian classrooms face a defining question: will children simply consume AI, or will they learn to create it? The ‘Built to Build AI’ initiative is designed around a clear answer. Rather than teaching students to use ready-made AI apps, it helps them understand how intelligent systems work, question them critically, and build with them responsibly — all through collaborative, hands-on learning.
“Artificial Intelligence is becoming a foundational literacy for the next generation. Our vision is very clear – to transform education from passive learning to active innovation, because we believe students should not just learn about the world, they should be prepared to shape it,” said Dr. Shabnam Sharma, Founder & CEO, RoboGenius. “The real opportunity is not teaching children how to use AI tools, but helping them understand how AI works, how to think critically about it, and how to build responsibly with it.”
To support the rollout, RoboGenius will conduct AI workshops, classroom demonstrations, teacher engagement programmes and collaborative learning events with partner schools.
LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI
Designed for students from the primary grades onwards (K–8), the LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI kit introduces core computational thinking and AI concepts through familiar LEGO building experiences. Working collaboratively in small groups, students learn how intelligent systems are designed, tested and improved. Crucially, they explore responsible AI practices in a safe, age-appropriate environment that prioritises student privacy — with no student logins and no data leaving the classroom. It is technology that serves the inquiry, never replacing the discussion and teamwork at the centre of good learning.
LEGO® Education Science
Complementing this, the LEGO® Education Science kit delivers curriculum-aligned, hands-on science learning that encourages inquiry, experimentation and real-world problem solving. Students investigate forces, motion, energy and interactions by building and testing physical models, so the “aha” moments come from the bricks in their hands rather than a screen. It is a natural fit for inquiry-driven classrooms and for the science foundations schools already teach.
Why Responsible AI Education Matters Now
As conversations around artificial intelligence grow, parents and educators increasingly seek learning environments that balance innovation with safety and ethics. RoboGenius believes responsible AI education must begin early, enabling students to become thoughtful creators rather than passive users of emerging technologies. The company expects these solutions to help schools develop critical future skills — computational thinking, creativity, collaboration, ethical reasoning and problem solving — capabilities widely recognised as essential for tomorrow’s workforce. With India accelerating its national focus on digital transformation and AI readiness, ‘Built to Build AI’ aims to inspire a new generation equipped not merely to navigate an AI-powered world, but to shape it.
Nationwide Media Coverage
The ‘Built to Build AI’ launch earned widespread national recognition, featuring across 57+ media outlets – including PTI, Outlook Business, The Wire, Ahmedabad Mirror, First India, India News and The Daily Guardian – reaching audiences across India, the UK and the US. The scale of coverage reflects growing national interest in how India’s schools will prepare students for an AI-driven future.
About RoboGenius
Founded in 2006 (formerly Techtronics Education), RoboGenius is one of India’s leading STEM education organisations, delivering complete learning ecosystems for schools rather than standalone hardware or software. Its integrated approach spans curriculum, teacher professional development, technology laboratories, competitions and long-term implementation support – enabling schools to embed future-ready learning into everyday teaching. As an official partner of LEGO® Education, Arduino and the World Robot Olympiad (WRO), and the organiser of India’s first WRO in 2007, RoboGenius has helped thousands of students build future-ready skills through experiential, hands-on learning.
