This Marty Education Pack contains 1 pre-built Marty the Robot, plus everything you need to integrate Marty into your club or classroom
Marty is a real robot for the price of a smart toy. Marty makes learning about programming and engineering a fun and engaging process. Acting as a gateway into computer science and design technology, Marty empowers students through inventive learning, engaging the child’s creativity and promoting their STEM skills.
Your students can get started programming Marty using the block-based language Scratch, and more advanced students can use Python, Javascript or even C++.
We have loads of free lesson plans for Marty suitable for ages from 7-14, as well as fun activities that can be used even with older students
Marty the Robot is for anyone, young or old that wants to learn how to code, and for teachers and educators that want to help them.
We offer Martys as kits and pre-assembled, so you have the flexibility to decide whether the build experience fits in to your teaching, or if instead you just want the robots to come assembled.

Marty for Schools & Colleges
Marty the Robot perfect for first introducing programming at KS2 level, right the way up to University. Marty is a flexible learning tool that grows with your students.
Adding Marty into your classroom is super easy — just have a look through our lesson plans that will get you up and running in no time!
Our resources have been curated with teachers in mind, creating an engaging environment where students can adopt a hands-on approach to learning about important concepts in robotics and programming.

Marty for Code Clubs
Marty is Maker friendly — you can download and 3D print all of Marty's parts, add sensors, a Raspberry Pi and even a camera to extend Marty's capabilities.
All the same activities and lesson guides for Schools are available to everyone that buys a Marty, and for a more individual learning or free-form environment we've got fun activities for Marty too.

How does Marty the Robot work in a class or code club?
Marty is programmed over WiFi, so you can have as many robots as you like connected and running in your class or club.
The education packs come with a command hub which generates its own WiFi network and runs a self-contained version of Scratch, to help you get Marty up and running without requiring school WiFi or internet access.
We're here to help. After you buy an Edu pack, get in touch to schedule your introductory video call where we can answer any questions you have, and make sure you get up and running, and help guarantee you get the most out of your Martys.
All the extras thrown-in with our Education Packs can be bought separately, so you can get a the same setup for one, ten or one hundred Martys.
