Robotical Ltd
Software is fast becoming the language of our world with coding now regarded as an essential life skill, as important as numeracy and literacy.
Encouraging the next generation to code means catching their interest early on and Alexander Enoch, Founder of Robotical and inventor of Marty the Robot, is doing just that.
Marty, an interactive, educational robot which young coders can build from a kit in one evening, is now a leading STEM resource that can be found in over 1,000 schools around the world.
Fully programmable, WiFi enabled and customisable with 3D printed parts, Marty can walk, turn, dance and kick a ball (and that’s just for starters!).
Alexander applied and won the KickStart 2015 Runner Up prize, returning in 2016 with the rebranded Robotical Ltd to secure the first ever Converge Challenge Design & Creativity Award.
In 2016 the company led a successful £90,000 crowdfunding campaign, later raising over $1million to scale up production, grow distribution, build the team and make Marty V2 a reality.
