Scope of supply

What works with the purchase,

Check before adoption

Can your team operate
from the free learning site?

Setup, learning steps and printable resources are available on the learning site. Bespoke curriculum production and ongoing class operation are outside the standard product scope.

  • You are considering meaningful use, often with multiple units
Needs an individual discussion

Production or operation must be outsourced

  • You need a bespoke curriculum built from zero
  • You need Matrain to run every session
  • Regular visits or a maintenance contract are essential
  • You require ongoing individual operating support

Organizational adoption guide

Match the use,
operation and environment.

This does not calculate a quotation or promise outcomes. It organizes the route that matches Matrain's current product and service boundaries.

1. Intended setting
2. Operating model
3. Available environment
4. Expected quantity

Ways to use it

Evaluate the use,
not only the organization size.

A large organization is not automatically a fit, and a small one is not automatically easy. The key question is whether the buyer can use the public resources and own day-to-day operation.

1Current priority

Learning centers and education providers

Add Smart Train to an existing program, seasonal course or special workshop when your organization can design the activity and operate it with its own staff.

  • Group use with multiple units
  • Addition to an existing Scratch program
  • Curriculum planned by your team
2Classes, clubs and inquiry learning

Schools and education facilities

Choose color snaps, Scratch or Python according to the lesson purpose, experience and device environment—not only by grade.

  • Screen-free introductory activity
  • Vehicle control with Scratch
  • Python and multi-train extension
3Permanent exhibit and experience

Museums and public venues

Smart Train is used in permanent exhibits at TEPIA and RoboTerrace. A new venue should be able to handle routine operation with its own staff.

  • Permanent exhibit
  • Short hands-on experience
  • Venue-operated daily use
4Exploratory use

Corporate learning and internal activities

Teams can plan a movement together and compare the physical result. Matrain does not yet claim an established training outcome for this use.

  • Content planned by the buyer
  • Operated by the buyer's staff
  • Purpose checked before purchase

Three control routes

Choose by purpose
and environment.

Color snaps are not limited to younger children, and Python is not automatically right for every older group. Start from the activity goal.

Verified use in Japan
