Questions, answered.

The things parents ask us most: about starting out, how the learning works, and the practical stuff.

Getting started
What ages is Cubo for?

Cubo is for children aged 6 to 18. We place every child by ability, not age, so a younger child who's ready can move ahead, and an older child who's just starting still begins on solid ground.

Does my child need any experience?

None at all. Most children start knowing nothing, with a blank screen in front of them. Even the very first session is hands-on; your child leaves having made something real.

My child is shy and not very confident. Will they be okay?

This is exactly the child Cubo helps most. Small groups of four, a patient mentor, and a safe space to try and make mistakes mean shy children slowly come out of their shell. Growing confidence is the change parents tell us about first.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes, a free visit is the best way in. Come and see the lab, meet a mentor, and let your child try a real session. There's no cost, and it's entirely your choice whether to join afterwards.

How do we join?

Start with a free visit. After your child tries a session and we have a friendly chat with you, we'll suggest the right starting stage and when they can begin.

How the learning works
How do you decide which stage my child starts at?

We watch how your child thinks and talk it through with you, then place them at the stage that truly fits: Explorer, Builder, Engineer, or Founder. Your child only moves up once the stage below is genuinely secure.

How big are the groups?

Small on purpose: just four children in a group, so a mentor always knows exactly what your child is building and where they're stuck.

My child is always on screens. How is this any different?

At Cubo, your child isn't passively watching a screen; they're making real things with their own hands, with people around them. It's active, social, and something to be proud of, not another thing to scroll past.

What will my child actually build?

Real things: games, working apps, robots that move, and their own ideas brought to life. Your child grows across all three areas: Technology (coding, robots, and math & science), Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship, building from day one.

How will I know my child is making progress?

By what your child can make, not a grade on a page. Progress is a growing collection of finished projects they're proud of, and regular days where they show their work to someone who didn't help build it.

Safety, place & fees
Will my child be safe and looked after?

Always. Groups are small, a mentor is with your child the whole time, and our lab on Warden Road is a calm, supervised space. You're welcome to see it for yourself on your first visit.

Where and when do classes run?

At our lab on Warden Road, Mumbai. We run weekday and weekend batches, so there's usually a time that fits around school.

Does my child need to bring a laptop or a kit?

Your child will need to bring their own laptop for the programming sessions. Everything else the build needs (the boards, robots, sensors and parts) is provided in the lab.

What does it cost?

It depends on the stage your child is placed at and how often they come. We'll share the exact fee once we've found the right starting point together, usually right after your free visit.

Can siblings join together?

Of course, siblings are welcome, and each one is placed at the stage that fits them. Just let us know and we'll line up their times.
