The best of BETT 2025 is here and we've been scouring the show to find the best technology on offer for education this year.
As the education world descends on London's ExCel Center for this year's BETT 2025, it's clear that the hot topic is ai. While the program has been running since 1985, this is a special year, not only because it has been 40 years since its inception, but because the leap in ai represents one of the biggest changes in education yet.
So while there are plenty of the usual big names like Google, Microsoft and Lenovo, you can also expect to hear from ai creators including Olex.ai, Keath and others.
Here are the top picks from what we saw at the BET 2025 showroom to shift education into a new direction that could change the way we work for the better.
While this is our test of the show floor, be sure to check out the Bett Awards for final decisions on the best to come out of BETT 2025.
Best of BETT 2025: Microsoft CoPilot and Spark
Microsoft has come to the show with some major advancements in ai that lead its offerings for 2025. Chief among them is CoPilot's ai intelligence. This is essentially artificial intelligence built into devices, including specific processors that allow teachers to use ai directly on the device, without an Internet connection.
That should mean super-fast responses and deep levels of control right there. Therefore, you may want to find something that you remember from months ago that only contains a description of what you were doing. The ai will determine what you have ordered and find it for you.
Also showcased this year is Spark software that uses ai to allow teachers to create useful assessment learning materials. Upload text, use stock images and more, all around which the ai will build a lesson. Students can then learn from the slides, while answering questions in various styles and receiving feedback as they go. All of this is generated automatically, but teachers can edit it to suit students or groups as needed.
Another area of progress is wellbeing, where a fantastic free system called Reflect is now available which allows students to check in with teachers about how they are feeling. Helpfully, this also offers deeper development of emotional language and tools, such as video guidance, to help them, all while letting the teacher know how they are doing in relation to any area they want to focus on.
<h2 id="olex-ai-3″>Olex.ai
The Olex.ai platform has been awarded at BETT this year as an outstanding product thanks to the innovative solutions it offers. Teachers can use this ai platform when teaching English.
Using ai, this will help teachers grade whole-class essays with detailed feedback in less than two minutes. And that goes for multiple languages so students get everything in their native language.
While much of this is automated, teachers can also apply nationally recognized rubrics or their own custom settings to meet individual or school needs.
This also offers automated lesson planning and can even take a student's story and turn it into a visual narrative with ai-generated images.
TheftTheft
RoboRobo is a fun and interactive coding platform that uses robotics to make coding fun and real. This curriculum-based system enables STEAM education where students code to enjoy interacting with a robot, while learning at the same time.
This offers different levels that are tailored to students to match their level of coding, culminating in Black Line Pro, where students can learn real-world coding skills. But with RoboKids, this is also accessible to students who are new to coding and need to have a more sensory experience.
magic school
Magic School appeared at BETT 2025 to showcase its ai-powered platform that makes personalized tools for teachers easier to use and more powerful than ever. This combines many dynamic ai tools in one place, all aimed at education.
With Magic School, teachers can create academic content, correct texts, comment on report cards, generate images, rewrite texts, generate rubrics and much more. Crucially, since all of this is powered by artificial intelligence, it means a faster process with time-saving results and can even lead to a more individual learning experience for students.

Already popular in Australia and New Zealand, Writer's Toolbox is at BETT to show the world how ai can help transform writing teaching in schools.
The system works with students as they create, giving them individualized real-time feedback on all topics to help them progress. Creativity is at the core of this tool and this applies to features like Sentence Train, paragraph scaffolding, creating classroom posters, and more.
Ultimately, this makes students more excited to participate in the writing process.
<h2 id="keath-ai-3″>Keath.ai
Keath.ai is using BETT 2025 to showcase its ai-powered assessment tool, which it calls “a personalized ai assessment assistant.”
This platform was developed with university-level research and government interest, but has resulted in a tool that is available to everyone and works for multiple levels of education.
The point here is that teachers should be able to make grading assessments, on a large scale, much easier. In fact, this can mark essays of 1,000 to 15,000 words with an initial accuracy of 85%, which is expected to reach 95% with the use of continuous training.
EdTool.ai offers teachers a way to make tests and lessons instantly interactive. Using generative ai, EdTool can help create presentations and assessments for use in class and beyond.
Since this is for both business and educational use, the complexity is useful and allows for great levels of editing. However, thanks to an ai assistant, it is also easy to use and can quickly perform tasks, such as creating a test, with ease.
Teachers can write whatever they want, upload any source material, select a target age and ability group, choose the activity type, adjust and generate. Simple but powerful.
Monkey Code
CodeMonkey appeared on BETT this year to show off their fun coding system for kids. The idea is to make programming enjoyable and easy enough to involve even the youngest children.
This teaches real-world coding, like Python and CoffeeScript, so kids can learn useful skills. It begins with block-based and text-based coding so that younger students can participate at a level appropriate for them.
Fundamentally, this is all a game-style learning space, making it fun and immersive. Suitable for students aged 5-14, it uses scaffolding puzzles and even allows students to build their own games.
Thanks to a panel of teachers and administrators, lesson plans and assessment tools, this is well integrated into the classroom for continuous learning. Additionally, parents can track progress and allows use at home.
Infento
Infento is a modular toy building system that makes STEM learning a lot of fun. It also means, thanks to that modular nature, that creations can be enormously varied, limited only by the creator's imagination.
As you can see from the back to the future DeLorean above, the limits of this one are very few. From creating scooters and karts to electric walkers and quads, this makes for a lot of building fun.
Since kids can create real creations that they can ride and interact with, this is a super powerful experience with real motivational results.
There are many education-specific kits available to suit the needs of school age, number of students, budget, and more.

Zoe, presented at BETT 2025 as part of USA edtech, represents a new way of teaching using virtual reality. This offers teachers a way to create their own custom VR experiences to use in class.
Thanks to the easy-to-use setup here, any teacher should be able to start creating their own interactive VR experience with relative ease. You can also dive into the coding side of Unity to make it more complex if necessary.
The end result is a space to create customized virtual experiments, virtual trips around the world and more. Since this is all shared as a community, there should be more pre-made content coming soon that teachers can edit as needed.
