MatataStudio makes coding tangible. Young learners place physical coding blocks on a board to programme a robot — no screens, no apps, no reading required. It’s as intuitive as building with blocks.
Founded in 2017, MatataStudio serves over 20,000 schools and institutions worldwide. Their products are ISTE-certified and have won Red Dot, iF, and Good Design awards for their thoughtful, child-friendly design.
A button-press coding robot that walks, draws, sings, dances, and records voice. Children learn commands, sequences, and loops through play. Comes with interactive story maps and building block accessories.
Physical coding blocks with directional symbols control a robot car — completely screen-free and word-free. Children plan routes, execute programmes, and debug their code. Expandable with Artist, Musician, and Sensor add-ons.
Dual programming in Scratch (blocks) and Python (text) with 8 built-in sensors, LED matrix display, and LEGO/Technic compatibility. Expandable with AI Vision Kit for machine learning projects.
