fischertechnik is a flexible and innovative construction system built around the unique fischertechnik building block, which allows attachment at all six sides. fischertechnik's system of interlocking building blocks, motors, sensors, lights, computer controllers, and software allow you to build countless fun and functional models, from Ferris Wheels and Construction Cranes to robots you can program and control. Designed with an engineering mindset, the creative possibilities with fischertechnik are limitless!
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:
How does a gear box work?
What is a planetary gear?
How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
Measurement, control, regulation, and programming for middle/high school and beyond. Acts as the core set for all fischertechnik robotic add-on products.

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 first experiments with pneumatics were conducted in the third century B.C., which led to the discovery of the extreme versatility and usefulness of compressed air. Using 8 models and 29 experiments, this kit also includes a full set of lesson plans for teachers.
