As early as ages 4–5, Unplugged builds sequencing skills and computational thinking through simple, screen-free commands.

By ages 5–7, the Marty Controller helps early readers strengthen their understanding of sequences with symbolic commands and step planning.

At ages 6–8, Blocks Jr introduces icon block-based coding, bringing code to life with Marty, Cog, and on-screen sprites.

From ages 8+, learners move to Blocks, a Scratch-based environment with greater functionality. Marty and Cog also open the door to AI and Machine Learning.

Gain more precise control over Marty’s sensors, motors, and behaviour, while learning techniques used in professional robotics.

“It allows learners to independently explore ‘cause & effect’, supporting a playful approach to learning.”
– A. Pickard

“The versatility of Marty is by far the biggest draw for me. It’s incredibly important that the children are developing their skills in digital literacy, however having such an engaging addition to the classroom can make a difference in so many areas – even behaviour management.”
– C. Lynch

“Cog has been a wonderful addition to our class. My students absolutely love using the Cog to develop sounds and one student even used it as a special doorbell for his “fort”!…We love Cog!”
– C. Butt

“I really like Cog – it’s nice to have something that you can interact with and the actions ‘make things happen’ on the screen! This means that coding on a screen is able to come alive for the little ones, and encourages them to change things and tinker with different coding blocks. It’s also nice the other way round, the code on the screen makes things happen on the Cog, which is tangible and worth so much more than just staring at a screen.”
– J. Hull

“They have been universally accepted as engaging, and fun learning tools that assist learners with computational thinking and coding. The software is very intuitive and very flexible. The robots themselves can do things that are not possible with any other kits that I have seen – not even close!”
– P. Lee

“I love how adaptable Marty can be and how many different topics and cross-curricular links I can make when using Marty in my lessons. It helps to bring coding off the screen and let students see their code run in real life which makes learning to code a lot less intimidating.”
– T. Howden

Where learning comes alive

Find the right tools for every stage of learning from early physical computing to advanced STEM.

Learning Progression

Robotical’s STEM products grow with learners of all ages and skill levels, making Marty the Robot and Cog versatile tools for any classroom.

Why is Physical Computing Important?

Coding doesn’t have to stay on a screen. With physical computing, students get instant, real-world feedback that makes abstract ideas click.

Marty the Robot brings coding to life with a humanoid design that can walk, dance, wave, and even chat in over 40 languages. They make coding relatable and encourage teamwork in the classroom.

With Robotical Cog, students see their code turn into colourful lights, fun sounds, and responsive actions in real time. This hands-on approach helps them understand concepts faster while building creativity and problem-solving skills.

At Robotical, our mission is to make coding feel more like play and less like hard work. With Marty and Cog, students get hands-on, creative experiences that show technology is fun, exciting, and for everyone.
