Robotify to focus on student access to equitable technology training with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s firm Woz ED. The two companies aim to provide tens of thousands of students access to premium robotics technology.

Premium robotics technology

Virtual robotics education company Robotify is partnering with Woz ED to provide more than 3,500 schools, coding clubs and school districts across the globe cost-effective access to the world’s most premium robotics technology.

Woz ED is a leader of K-12 STEM education around the world, providing access to high quality technology training to students. However, during COVID-19, student access to physical robotics hardware has been severely impacted and the cost of physical hardware has made it a challenge to continue to provide robotics programming to students.

In the deal, Robotify is providing its proprietary software to Woz ED which will allow it to virtualise its physical STEM pathways and provide students with a virtual robotics experience, in addition to existing physical experiences.

Equitable access to coding and robotics educational content

The deal will see both companies partner to reach tens of thousands of more students around the world to give them equitable access to coding and robotics educational content.

The deal is part of Robotify’s commitment to enable students across the globe access to the world’s most premium robotics technology in a cost-effective, accessible and equitable way as part of their Robotify Enabled program.

Robotify has set an ambitious goal of making their cutting-edge simulation software, CMS platform and virtual robotics competition software accessible to millions of students around the world.

“I am delighted to partner with such a fantastic team at Woz ED. I have always admired Steve Wozniak, so to be able to work with his team and share the same vision of nurturing the makers of the future by making STEM education more accessible to all students across the globe, is really exciting for me and all the team at Robotify,” said Adam Dalton, CEO of Robotify.

'Ensuring young learners are job-ready'

The partnership will also see Apple co-founder and the visionary behind Woz ED, Steve Woziank, speak at the forthcoming Robotify Expo.

"I’m impressed with the way Robotify makes coding engaging and accessible. By virtualising the technology more young people will have the opportunity to learn and explore. Both Woz Ed and Robotify focus on ensuring young learners are job-ready for the most in demand tech sector openings. We provide learners with the opportunity to engage in authentic projects to help them understand what work they love and excel at,” said Woziank.

The Robotify Expo will take place virtually on September 23, 2021, and will celebrate new advancements in STEM education, give attendees the opportunity to learn from industry experts and showcase the new and exciting products from the Robotify team. More information about the Expo including other high profile keynote speakers will be provided in the coming weeks.
