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.
Introduce young learners aged 4-9 to the world of coding with the MatataStudio Coding Set Pro Classroom Set — a hands-on, screen-free STEM learning solution designed for collaborative classrooms. This engaging kit lets students physically arrange coding blocks to program the MatataBot, completing fun challenges that teach sequencing, loops, conditions, and debugging, all while building problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and creativity. The classroom set includes multiple Coding Set Pro kits and teaching resources, making it easy for educators to run interactive coding lessons for groups of students. Through activities like robot navigation, storytelling challenges, and creative problem-solving tasks, learners explore coding in a fun, interactive way that integrates with math, art, and teamwork projects. Perfect for early STEM education, this set encourages collaboration, project-based learning, and a strong foundation in computational thinking.
