STEM Fundamentals
fischertechnik STEM Fundamentals kits are optimized for practice-oriented work from the middle and high school level upwards. Each set is designed to address a specific, technical topic from the STEM field. Each kit contains an assortment of parts with which various models can be built and experiments conducted. The models are optimized for functionality and thus avoid long construction times. Ideally, two to four students can work with a kit at the same time.
Each set comes with access to downloadable instructional materials, including lesson plans and task sheets with educational plan reference. fischertechnik STEM Fundamentals kits are ideal for teaching STEM related concepts in both the classroom or homeschool environment.
Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:
Requires 9V battery (not included).
How can you generate electricity in an environmentally friendly way? How does a fuel cell work, and how can it be used to generate hydrogen? Renewable energies are the most important energy sources of the future. The generation, storage and use of electricity from the natural energy sources of water, wind and sun are clearly explained using nine models and 28 experiments.
Using 8 models and 29 experiments, STEM Pneumatics teaches the basic principles of pneumatics, and demonstrates the functioning of components like compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders, as well as an exhaust throttle valve. The concept also includes a full set of lesson plans for teachers.
Explore fundamentals of gear technology with 26 different models for hands-on experimentation. Learn about lever principles, ratios, four-link systems, pulleys, differential gears, planetary gears, and much more.
Explore the basic principles behind electronics.
Learn and understand the principles of Solar Power with the fischertechnik Education Solar: Beginner kit. Renewable energy sources will play an increasingly significant role in future. A solar module generates electricity from the energy of the sun to move the solar boats and the solar car. Whether on water or land, the construction set is a learning-by-playing approach to solar power.
