Education
Future-proof your institution while you future-prep your students
85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 have not yet been created*. Striving to prepare students for unknown futures, today’s educators are challenged to not only teach up-to-date information and skills, but simultaneously create systems that accommodate constant change. In this rapidly evolving industry, Robots & Pencils has a proven record of delivering impactful solutions to edtech startups, long-established academic institutions and everything in between. We’ve even built our own product for delivering personalized learner journeys called Student Apps, and our work has led us to become a Salesforce.org Registered Higher Ed Partner. By partnering with our strategy, design and technology experts, educational leaders can develop innovative, flexible learning experiences, boost student engagement and retention, and free staff and faculty to spend time supporting students—not entering data into archaic systems.

Flexible engagements because one size never fits all
Different institutions and educators have different priorities and approaches – and that’s okay. R&P can spin up the team, design and tech that works for you. From mobile experts building a consumer-grade student UX to talented designers ensuring your educational content is as engaging as possible across modalities, we flex to meet you where you are – and help get you where you need to go.
Bring frontier technology to your learning platform
Student expectations and educational methods are evolving fast. Students need an education that meets them where they are now and across their careers, and one that is affordable, personalized and aligned to marketplace demand. R&P can help you keep up, with solutions like augmented reality technology, mobile-first platforms, and competency-based learning tools, while our UX team makes sure you always keep your students in the center. Our edu chatbot, Socrates, can even offer always-on support to your students across the lifecycle, from admission to graduation and beyond.
