Case StudyEdTech·Robotics & AI for Kids

How a robotics and AI school for kids joined up content, enquiries and parent follow-up, and filled 92% of class seats.

Skillfi turned scattered posts into one content calendar, put every parent enquiry into one inbox and automated follow-up across WhatsApp, email and calls, from first trial class to next-level enrolment. It's what our marketing automation service builds for growing education brands.

Kids loved the classes. Getting them there was chaos.

The company teaches robotics, coding and AI to children aged 7 to 16, through after-school batches, holiday bootcamps and online classes across the US, the Middle East and India. Every term it runs more than 60 batches, and every term launch was a scramble. Content went out on Instagram, YouTube and parent groups whenever someone had time.

Parent enquiries arrived by email, WhatsApp and web forms with no order to the follow-up, so counsellors called some families twice and others never. Nearly a third of children booked for a trial or first class didn't turn up, because nobody reminded their parents. And once a course ended, families rarely heard from the school again, so few came back for the next level.

Parents loved us once their kids were in the room. Getting them there, and keeping them, was the hard part.

One content calendar, one inbox, follow-up parents actually read.

Parents are busy and live on their phones. We built the whole journey around that: content made once and shared everywhere, every enquiry answered in minutes on WhatsApp, and every family tracked in one AI CRM from first click to next-level course.

Content hub

Create once, share everywhere

One calendar per term launch, with students' robot builds turned into Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, parent newsletters and WhatsApp broadcasts.

Follow-up

WhatsApp, email and calls in order

An instant WhatsApp reply with the program guide and a free trial link, emails with the curriculum and student project videos, and a counsellor call when a parent views the fees page.

Reminders & progress

Parents in the loop all term

Reminders before every trial and class, monthly progress updates with project videos, certificates after each course and an invite to the next level.
