Frequently asked

Questions parents abroad ask us

Is the electronics kit shipped internationally?

Yes. The Arduino + sensor kit ships to families in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia at the start of each season.

How does the ZedTech Canada channel work?

As a ZedTech Canada partner, we channel qualifying diaspora teams directly into Canadian FIRA competitions — a real opportunity to compete locally as well as globally.

Is everything safe for kids?

Yes. We use only low-voltage (5V/3.3V) components. No mains AC in any project. Our proprietary safe-kit boards have built-in protection.

Can my child start without prior experience?

Yes. Season 1 of each age tier starts from zero. The trial class is free.

What about timezones?

Multiple class times per week across EST, PST, GMT, CET. All sessions recorded.
