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. As a primary school STEM teacher, being able to trial Marty before purchasing was invaluable. CD-Soft made the process easy and provided excellent support throughout, allowing us to see how Marty would work in a real classroom environment before committing to a purchase. Our students were immediately engaged by Marty's personality and movement, while the progression from unplugged activities to block coding and more advanced programming made it suitable across multiple year levels. The trial gave us confidence that Marty would be a sustainable investment for our STEM program, and we subsequently purchased the Marty the Robot V2 5 Pack. We highly recommend both Marty and the team at CD-Soft. The opportunity to try before you buy, combined with responsive customer service and educational expertise, made the decision an easy on Chris | STEM Specialty Teacher | Craigslea State School For Ages 4+ From introducing screen-free programming in pre-school, right through to university, Marty is a flexible learning tool that grows with students. Value for Money Marty the Robot’s adaptability and progressive coding environments eliminate the need for other robots, as students advance through the curriculum. Cross Curricular Potential Marty’s cross-curricular potential enriches the educational experience by seamlessly integrating into various subjects. Machine Learning Marty’s impressive capabilities extend to machine learning, allowing students to delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence in elementary. Features 1 - Humanoid Form: Marty is packed with personality and overflowing with character! 2 - Unique Walking Mechanism: Take a walk, turn, dance, sidestep, kick a ball, and wiggle! 3 - Range of Expressions: Marty's eyebrows have the ability to convey emotions. 4 - Motors with Position Sensors: Nine high-quality servo motors are included in the robot's design for precise movement in the legs, arms, and eyes. 5 - Foot Sensors: Unlock the potential of screenless coding with Infrared (IR) and Color Sensors. 6 - Quality Moulded Plastic Parts:Built to last, sturdy and classroom-friendly 7 - Acceleration & Tilt Sensor: Found in the control board in Marty’s head 8 - Rechargeable Battery: Get up to 2-3 hours of run time with a full charge! 9 - Speaker: Marty is capable of speaking and creating sounds. Multiple Programming Languages Marty promotes the transition from screen-free programming to block-based coding, and then to the more advanced text-based coding language Python. Connectivity Customize your Marty experience on a PC, Android, or iOS device through our app. Connect via Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, or I2C to add even more features. Resource Library Marty's Learning Portal is packed with a wide range of educational resources, including curriculum-linked lesson plans and classroom-ready presentations, to support your teaching. Curricular Links Coding Marty the Robot is designed to make learning about computer science and coding a fun and engaging experience. From introducing screen-free programming in pre-school, right through to university, Marty is a flexible learning tool that grows with your students. Introduce your students to computational thinking with fun activities, then ease the jump to real world programming languages through a familiar platform. Mathematics Marty links to mathematics learning by creating practical opportunities. From estimating distance and angles, walking the perimeter of shapes, responding to different conditional statements, based on a range of numerical values – the possibilities are endless. Additionally, more advanced learners can trigger events by coding loops that make use of counters or timers, which reinforces an understanding of duration and units of time. Literature & Language Marty is a great stimulus for imaginative and informative writing. Young children who shy away from fiction, find that having a character that can perform their story is exciting and rewarding. Marty is a great stimulus for imaginative and informative writing. Young children who shy away from fiction, find that having a character that can perform their story is exciting and rewarding. Social & Emotional Learning Robots are particularly suitable for engaging children with special educational needs: children on the spectrum respond well to the clear, consistent interactions that robots can provide. As Marty is a humanoid robot, children form an instant connection. Marty provides an opportunity to develop communication skills and provide support for children who are keen to express their feelings and emotions with him. They often see Marty as a friend and part of the class. Expose learners to situations that rely on communication and cooperation in order to achieve success. Paired or group programming opportunities are a regular part of a developer’s schedule. Encouraging the skills that are necessary for working as a member of a team are essential in today’s STEAM environments.
