Check out… Robotical!

When it comes to tech for the classroom – particularly STEM resources that usually have a higher price tag than any other subject, it’s important to make investments that give the best bang for your buck.

I’ve researched and tested a lot of EdTech tools and for me Marty the Robot is an integrated STEM solution that covers all bases.

I’ve never had a reaction like it when we first unboxed Marty in class. What you might not think is that children, even these days, are pretty traditional in their views of how a robot should look. And Marty looks like a person – has arms, legs and an expressive face, which means children relate to them. Add in Marty’s moves: Marty can walk, sidestep, kick, balance and turn i.e. is a star turn on the dancefloor and soccer pitch – and you’re onto a winner.
