EdTech Twin Science & Robotics has closed a £1.25 million investment round to propel the company’s international expansion, including a strengthening of its US presence.
Since its inception in 2017, Twin Science & Robotics has offered STEM education – focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – to more than 1.5m students from 4,000 primary schools across 40 countries.
The new funding was led by Soulmates Ventures and included APY Ventures, existing investors and prominent angel investors.
“Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between technology and education, ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality STEM education,” said Asude Altintas Guray, co-founder and CEO.
“This investment marks a significant milestone in our journey, allowing us to scale our impact globally and continue developing AI tools that empower both educators and students.”
Twin Science & Robotics has pioneered a ‘Double-Winged Education’ approach, integrating technology with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
This approach adeptly combines physical kits such as the Robotic Art Kit, Robotics & Coding Kit, and STEM for Sustainability Kit, as well as gamified digital applications and ready-made lesson plans, helping teachers teach these subjects both more effectively and engagingly.
The content of all products is developed in collaboration with leading institutions such as UCL (University College London) and Imperial College. Its goal of ‘accessible education for all children worldwide’ is supported by strategic partnerships with global companies such as Intel, Rolls-Royce, Google and Ford.
The company says it consistently generates positive EBITDA, achieves 100% year-on-year growth, and is expected to surpass a turnover of £4.1 million this year.
“STEM education in practice means that students are not just passive recipients of information; they actively engage in projects that link theory to real-world problems. This approach allows them to acquire technical knowledge while also understanding the broader context and developing various skills,” explained Hynek Sochor, founder and managing partner of Soulmates Ventures.
“The Twin Science & Robotics startup can integrate STEM into school curricula and inspire a new generation of teachers towards a responsible and innovative approach to education.”
