The origins of NiryoAcademy: understanding teachers’ needs

The creation of NiryoAcademy is the result of a collaborative, educator-centered approach, rooted in dialogue with the academic and educational robotics communities. The goal: to deliver a solution truly aligned with the current challenges of teaching technology and robotics.

Robotics shaped by educator input

The idea for NiryoAcademy took shape through a thoughtful, in-depth engagement with teaching professionals. The Niryo team spent time understanding the everyday challenges teachers face when integrating robotics and programming into their curricula. This immersion helped them pinpoint precise needs and frustrations.

Teacher involvement from day one

From the outset, teachers played an active role in the platform’s design. Their expertise was instrumental in shaping the platform’s features, educational content, and user experience. This collaborative approach ensured that the tool—notably integrated with Niryo’s robots—meets real-world classroom needs and supports students’ learning in a meaningful way.

Addressing common frustrations

NiryoAcademy was designed to overcome the limitations of existing tools and platforms, which are often overly complex, inflexible, or poorly suited to the varying requirements across educational levels. NiryoAcademy offers a simple, intuitive, and fully adapted solution for teaching programming and foundational robotics skills using real robots.

The “by and for” philosophy

The “by and for” approach is at the heart of NiryoAcademy’s identity. By placing teachers at the heart of its design, the platform guarantees educational relevance and encourages its adoption by the educational community. he aim is to truly support educators in their work and to empower young people with essential skills in robotics and technology. 

Key features of NiryoAcademy: a tool adapted to the realities of the classroom

NiryoAcademy is an innovative digital platform crafted to meet the specific needs of teachers and students in the fields of robotics and STEM. It offers a wide array of features that make it easier to introduce robots for learning and programming into schools, while also fostering ongoing professional development for educators.

Creating and sharing educational resources

NiryoAcademy simplifies the creation and distribution of a wide range of educational resources. Teachers can easily design interactive lessons, engaging activities and relevant assessments, adapted to different levels and disciplines. 

The platform supports multiple content formats—including text, images, and videos—making learning more dynamic and accessible for students. Additionally, the ability to share resources within educator communities encourages collaboration and continuous improvement.

Professional development and continuing education

The platform actively supports teachers’ professional growth through ongoing training modules that address current technological trends (such as AI, for example). Educators have access to webinars, tutorials, and other interactive formats to build their skills in robotics, programming, and the use of educational kits. Peer learning and the exchange of best practices are strongly encouraged, fostering a culture of continuous pedagogical enhancement.

Classroom management and organization

NiryoAcademy offers tools for learning to program, optimizing classroom management and organizing learning sequences. Teachers can track student progress, communicate easily with parents and organize activities efficiently. 

The platform offers pedagogical differentiation possibilities, enabling learning paths to be personalized to meet the specific needs of each student. Integration with other school management tools can also be envisaged for a seamless user experience.

Community and collaboration

An essential aspect of NiryoAcademy is its community dimension. Discussion forums and thematic working groups enable teachers to exchange ideas, ask questions and facilitate the resolution of problems encountered in the field of digital science. This collaboration fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support within the educational team. User feedback and suggestions are also taken into account for the continuous improvement of the platform.
