Why Marty?

Marty has been an international phenomenon from the start, and today more than 10,000 Martys have been sold with distributors across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. But how is Marty different to the competition?

Marty in the Classroom
  • Fun & Engaging: Marty, the humanoid robot, has a BIG personality that immediately draws you in. Interacting with Marty is a whole new experience compared to just playing with a rolling ball.
  • Full Learning Progression: Introduce your students to the world of coding and programming with Marty, a versatile tool that can be used for all ages, from PreK to 8th grade! Say goodbye to screen dependency and hello to hands-on learning.
  • AI & Machine Learning: Introduce Artificial Intelligence to your students as early as 5th grade with Marty's machine learning extension. Encourage students to train the robot and empower teachers to provide a unique learning experience.
  • Exciting Speech Functionality: Marty is able to speak and has the ability to record and playback sounds. Additionally, Marty can perform text-to-speech tasks and translate text into over 40 different languages.
  • Across the Curriculum: Marty seamlessly fits into various subjects such as computer science, robotics, math, reading, writing, foreign language studies, and social emotional learning, with specially designed lesson plans.
  • Built for the Classroom: Marty is a top-of-the-line tool, strong and designed to endure even the most enthusiastic use. Backed by a 2-year warranty, Marty is made to last.
