DFCC Junior Hosts Magic Bit Robotics Workshop to Inspire Young Innovators

June 11, 2025

As part of its ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation, DFCC Bank, through its DFCC Junior platform, recently partnered with Magic Bit to conduct an exciting, hands-on Robotics Workshop for children. This initiative underscores DFCC Bank’s vision to promote digital literacy, creativity, and innovation among young minds while fostering early interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.

The workshop provided a unique opportunity for DFCC Junior account holders, children of DFCC employees and other young participants to engage in practical, age-appropriate tech learning. Guided by Magic Bit, a leader in technology education for children, the sessions were designed to spark creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, building capabilities that are essential for success in the digital age.

Through initiatives like these, DFCC Junior is evolving beyond a traditional children’s savings account to become a holistic platform for child development, nurturing future-ready skills while promoting smart financial habits. The Robotics Workshop also served as a valuable touchpoint to strengthen parent loyalty and enhance long-term relationships with families by offering enriching, future-forward experiences.

Aasiri Iddamalgoda, Senior Vice President – Head of Retail & Business Banking at DFCC Bank, commented on the success of the initiative: “At DFCC Bank, we believe that empowering the next generation requires more than teaching financial literacy, it demands nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and a passion for innovation. Through DFCC Junior and partnerships like the one with Magic Bit, we are investing in the holistic development of young minds, helping them become not just smart savers, but future leaders and problem-solvers. We are proud to support initiatives that align with Sri Lanka’s digital transformation journey while creating memorable experiences for our young customers.”

DFCC Bank’s support for initiatives that align with national digital development goals highlights its proactive approach toward building a digitally skilled future workforce. By fostering curiosity and technological proficiency at a young age, DFCC Junior continues to set a new standard for how banks can engage meaningfully with the communities they serve.
