Robotics for every K-8 classroom
We believe every student should receive the opportunity to learn about robotics.
True Robotics has developed Classroom Packages for grades K-8 to help schools bring robotics to every student. Each package includes a grab-and-go curriculum, reusable robot kits, and interactive, one-on-one teacher training. Students get hands-on with real robots, coding them and learning the math and science behind how they work. Our packages are a great fit for any learning environment, from traditional classrooms to afterschool programs and summer camps.

How robotics works in the schools we work with
Every one of our programs puts real robots in your students' hands, so STEM becomes something they do, not just something they read about.
Students build the robots
Your K-3 students get our Treads Robot, built and ready to drive on day one. Your students in grades 3 to 8 build their own Pilot or Axle with real-world tools: a screwdriver, a wrench, and a ruler.
Students code the robots
Your students snap blocks together into a program in True Robotics Playground, send it to their robot over Bluetooth, and watch their code come to life. There are no student logins for your teachers to manage.
Students learn the math and science
Our lessons connect their robot to grade-level math and science, from fractions and measuring with a ruler to speed, energy, and forces, so your students see what they learn at work in the real world.
Aligned to your state's standards
All three of our programs are aligned to your state's standards and to national standards, grade by grade, from kindergarten through grade 8.
See our standards alignmentA great fit for any learning environment
Our programs are a great fit for any learning environment, including traditional, alternative, and sub-therapeutic settings, as well as afterschool programs and summer camps. Your teachers can run them as a class unit, in science and engineering classes, or as an afterschool club.

What educators say about us
The True Robotics team was engaging, organized, and well-versed in their ability to teach and work with our students. My students were excited to build and program robots, and in a short amount of time, they were applying basic code to have the robots execute commands. The training and support provided were invaluable, making it easy to implement the curriculum and watch my students thrive.
True Robotics’ trainers were not only relatable and approachable but also top-notch professionals who created an engaging, supportive, and accessible learning environment. Their high-level curriculum design and hands-on activities made it seamless to integrate robotics into our lessons. Thanks to their training, my students have shown heightened excitement for problem-solving, collaboration, and teamwork.
True Robotics has provided exceptional service to our district, offering personalized attention and responsiveness at every step. They’ve gone above and beyond, from answering emails to making personal visits to see our program in action. Beyond great customer service, their program has helped students develop vital social skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. We’re grateful for their ongoing support and look forward to continuing our partnership.
Block coding in True Robotics Playground
Your students code every robot we make in True Robotics Playground at app.truerobotics.org, snapping blocks into a program and sending it to their robot to watch it run. It works on the Chromebooks, iPads, and computers your school already has, and no student needs a login.
Questions schools ask us first
Who is True Robotics?
True Robotics is a K-8 educational robotics company based in Massachusetts, founded in 2021 so every student can learn with robots, not just the top 10 to 20 percent. We bring your school reusable robot kits, a grab-and-go curriculum for every grade, and one-on-one teacher training. Our three programs are Paving the Way with Treads for grades K-3, Taking Off with Pilot for grades 3-5, and Introduction to Robotics with Axle for grades 6-8. We have served more than 42,000 students and delivered more than 2,900 robots.
What is the K-8 Classroom Suite?
The K-8 Classroom Suite is our family of three True Robotics programs for kindergarten through grade 8, each built on reusable robot kits, a grab-and-go curriculum for every grade, and one-on-one teacher training. We're proud of our robots, but we take the most pride in our curriculum and our training. Together they give your school everything it needs to run robotics well and keep your students engaged year after year. Many schools start with one grade band and add the others later.
Which challenges does the K-8 Classroom Suite address?
The True Robotics K-8 Classroom Suite answers the four challenges educators named in our research: time, hands-on STEM, training, and standards. Your teachers have no time to write new curriculum, so our grab-and-go lessons arrive ready to teach. Schools want hands-on STEM with real-world connections, and teachers want training to feel confident in front of students. Our lessons also have to help your students reach the goals your school and state set. Funding is the barrier behind all four, and we help there too.
What research are your programs built on?
The True Robotics K-8 Classroom Suite is built on about a year of our research in partnership with MIT, drawing on hundreds of educator interviews. We asked educators across the country about their real challenges in STEM. Every kind of school and every job title named the same four: time for new curriculum materials, hands-on STEM activities, access to expert training, and alignment with standards. We built our suite to break down those barriers for your teachers, not add to them.
