ABOUT US

matris robotic

Matris Robotic is a UK-based educational ecosystem founded by university lecturers and robotics researchers from UCL and University of Kent. We provide educational materials of  Robotics and AI to children aged 5–16.

Our mission is to train next generation of entrepreneurs. Since 2012, we have been at the forefront of robotics and coding education, designing comprehensive curricula that inspire pupils to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Our programmes are delivered both in schools and to individual learners, making advanced technology education accessible to all.

The Matris ecosystem provides everything students need to become Robotics and AI experts, from hardware and a comprehensive curriculum to hands-on learning for ages 5 to 16.

The Matris Method integrates programming and robotics, helping students develop a holistic understanding of how these technologies connect and work together.

At Matris Robotic, children have fun while building their own robots and games. They learn to design, construct, and experiment with their creations, using play and problem-solving to tackle real-world challenges. This hands-on experience nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork, helping to shape the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs. Our unique educational approach blends fun, competition and play making learning both exciting and impactful.
