Turn an interestinto somethinga learner can do.

Our current product is Smart Train, a physical programming learning product that turns an idea into movement on a real track.

Smart Train starter set, train and track — Smart Train / handled and sold in Japan by Matrain

Current product

Smart Train is the first product we handle—not our entire identity.

It fits Matrain's purpose because an existing interest in moving objects or railways can become an immediate cycle of imagining, testing and checking. We may handle other learning products in the future.
