Marty the Robot
Early – Upper Years • Years 1-12 [Y2-13]
Marty the Robot V2
– a walking, dancing, coding companion that costs little but does a lot!
Specifically designed to help develop STEM skills
Bringing Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to life – and let’s not forget arts and creativity too!
Marty is a real robot designed to help teach coding, electronics, and engineering to kids in a fun and engaging way, for the price of a smart toy.
Meet Marty the Robot V2
A fully-programmable, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled walking robot that’s full of personality. Marty makes learning about programming, robotics and engineering fun, engaging and accessible.
A full, STEM classroom-in-a-box solution, Marty is designed for primary and secondary educators and learners. Marty supports learning progression from screen-free coding, through to block-coding with Scratch, and all the way to real-world programming language Python.
Marty can be used as early as preschool or kindergarten, and all the way up to post-secondary education. Robotical’s educational materials provide a full spectrum of resources, such as video tutorials, lesson plans, student workbooks and so much more.
What Do Teachers And Children Think About Marty The Robot V2?
“Having something physical to move, away from a computer screen, helps pupils better understand what happens when they input certain commands. It moves the lessons from theoretical to practical and pupils can see the interaction between software and hardware. Marty is cute and engaging which makes it easy to introduce him in the classroom. But he also demonstrates how coding can be applied in the real world as he can interact with his surroundings.”
Jonathan Baxter, Depute Head at The Flora Stevenson Primary School
“Marty the Robot is highly motivating and accessible to all ability levels. The students are constantly being challenged as they explore the range of movements that are possible. Technical support from Robotical has been first-class and the local distributor, Lioncrest Education, has been extremely helpful and efficient. Marty is a very engaging resource and easy for staff to use. It is a joy to use a high-quality product that can present such a wide range of opportunities.”
