FAQs
Q: Who is behind CYFI? Is it a reliable company?CYFI is built by the team behind NESTA TOYS, based in Nagpur, India. NESTA TOYS has been trusted by over 3,00,000 families and is consistently rated 4.6★ by parents. CYFI is their dedicated learning platform built on the same foundation of quality and parent trust.
Q: Is CYFI recognized or used by schools in India?
Yes - CYFI has a dedicated school program used to set up coding and robotics labs across schools in India. The platform and kits are aligned with NEP 2020 guidelines, making it suitable for formal school adoption without disrupting existing timetables.
Q: Are the CYFI robotics kits safe for young children?
Yes. CYFI kits use click-lock parts - no soldering, no sharp tools, no complex wiring. They are designed specifically for children to assemble independently, making them safe for home use from age 7 onwards.
Q: Can my child participate in robotics competitions after learning with CYFI
Absolutely. The skills built through CYFI are block coding, Python, sensor logic, etc and they directly prepare children for school and national-level robotics competitions. Several CYFI learners have gone on to participate in events like WRO (World Robot Olympiad) and ATL Marathons.
Q: Is there a free trial before I commit to buying?
You can explore the CYFI coding platform at https://platform.nestatoys.com/play before purchasing. This lets your child experience the block-based coding environment firsthand so you can see whether it clicks before making a decision.
