Allen Tsui found Marty The Robot V2:

• Significantly increases student collaboration“The children I demonstrated Marty to absolutely loved using Marty and curious to understand and learn how the coloured postcards worked. It was so easy to introduce children as young as aged 4 to the computational thinking skills that they need to become confident digital citizens of the future. The children wanted to work together to create different patterns for Marty to follow.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge“The direct links to the way Marty's app works like Scratch was a wonderful way of demonstrating to colleagues less familiar with block coding of its potential.”
• Significantly improves behaviour or wellbeing“Every learner that got to work with Marty from Reception (aged 4) to those in Year 6 (aged 11) were so engaged with working with Marty, there were never any issues with behaviour in the coding and robotics lessons.”
• Significantly improves attainment“Quite simply it enables learners from as young as aged 4 to achieve learning goals that are two years above their age related expectations. Specifically, children in Year 2 were learning to use terms like "quarter turn clockwise" when such terminology would usually be taught in Maths in Year 4.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“As a product, Marty has the potential to reach parts of the curriclulum others only dream of. So many opportunities for making a cross curricular impact on student or learner knowledge.”
