Child learning to code with the Codey Rocky robot
Meet Codey Rocky

An ideal beginner's robot for interactive coding

Codey Rocky is two robots in one. Codey is a handheld controller with an LED screen, buttons and built-in sensors. Rocky is the driving base that turns Codey into a moving robot.

There's nothing to build, so kids can start coding in the very first lesson.

Innovative robot design

Write your first code with Codey Rocky

With 20+ coding tasks and rich online tutorials, Codey Rocky helps children learn robotics, programming, game design and IoT in a fun way.

Each component is carefully designed to enable kids to be creators, inventors and entrepreneurs.

For schools and parents

Why choose Codey Rocky for coding and robotics?

Codey Rocky gives learners a hands-on way to learn coding, robotics and computational thinking. Its screen, buttons, speaker and sensors respond to the code children write, so ideas like sequencing, loops and conditions become something they can see, hear and play with.

Built for South African classrooms

Codey Rocky is ready out of the box and rechargeable, so there's no setup time eaten out of a lesson. Guided coding tasks and online tutorials give teachers ready-made activities for primary school learners.

A clear path from first code to Python

The same robot works at every level. Children start with Scratch-style blocks in mBlock, then switch to Python and explore AI and IoT projects, so Codey Rocky stays useful for years.
