About VRAcademi Ai & Metaverse Lab
VRAcademi is a Dubai tech lab that teaches coding, robotics, AI, game development, digital art and filmmaking to children, teens and adults, both online and in person. For younger children the site describes the Future Creators Pathway, a year-long programme for ages 8-10 that moves through six creative worlds: digital art, film making, game development, AI robotics, virtual reality and 3D design, with 90 hours of hands-on work. Older children can pick a single track such as AI, Robotics & Coding, where students learn Python and C++ and build robots with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors and motors. Classes are project-based, and the robotics course needs no programming experience. The site's lab pages list VR headsets, motion capture, 3D printers, green screens and RTX workstations. The home page and footer give the Dubai Lab as GEMS School of Research & Innovation in Dubai Sports City, which matches Google. A few other pages still mention Dubai Knowledge Village or Jumeirah Beach Road, so check the venue for your child's class when you book.
The activity
Coding, explained
Coding for children is learning to give a computer clear, step-by-step instructions, and robotics puts that code into something that moves. Younger beginners often start by building simple programs and games; older children move on to text languages such as Python and wire up sensors and motors on boards like Arduino. Along the way they practise breaking big problems into small ones, testing, spotting their own mistakes and trying again. Project-based classes end with something a child can show: a game, an animation or a robot that reacts to its surroundings. At VRAcademi the youngest pathway starts at age 8, and the robotics course asks for no prior programming experience.
Who it's for
Children, teens and adults. The Future Creators Pathway is for ages 8-10 with no prior experience; the course finder groups courses for ages 8-13 and 14+, and there are separate adult courses. The AI, Robotics & Coding course asks for no prior programming experience. The lab pages say the 360-degree immersion room is used for SEND students; ask whether it is at the Sports City lab.
What to expect
Start with a free demo class or free exploration session, booked through the website, by phone or on WhatsApp. On the AI, Robotics & Coding course the site describes two one-hour classes a week, a maximum of 15 students per class, and hands-on work with robotics kits. The Future Creators Pathway for ages 8-10 runs in small groups of 8 students per lab, with all equipment, software and materials provided at the lab, make-up sessions for missed classes if you tell them in advance, and a showcase for parents every 12 weeks. Course pages say the first 2 sessions are risk-free with a full refund if you are not satisfied; confirm the terms when you book.
