On top of this, fischertechnik is also ideal for developing many other skills and aptitudes that go across all subject areas…skills such as abstract thinking, developing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, problem solving and team work. You can find out more about these areas, as well as an overview of the core educational products, the subjects they address, and the ITEA created “Standards for Technological Literacy”

Autodesk’s Digital STEAM Workshop was a success, and showed the participants the scope and potential of this free Autodesk Curriculum. Autodesk’s Digital STEAM Curriculum is a project based teaching tool which allows teachers to focus on the instruction of key concepts. Key concepts covered in today’s workshop included design for Urban Farming, Urban Planning and Transit infrastructure, and Thermal cooling properties involved in the design of structures.

While you can in fact special order some of the instruction booklets for the currently available fischertechnik sets directly from Studica (please contact me directly at [email protected] for more info on this), there are no printed versions of the instructions for older kits available for sale. However, there is another option, and it’s totally FREE.

I was able to use hardware from the Fischertechnik Oeco Tech Renewable Energies Kit to construct the Solar Array, complete with DC Motor. The solar tracker is a part of this kit, and comes with graphical instructions for assembly and wiring. With this, I was able to add two Light Sensors and design a simple system for control using LabVIEW.

Two much anticipated new releases from fischertechnik are due to finally hit our shelves in the coming month. The first is the new Profi Dynamic set. Subtitled “fun with Physics” , this great new set contains over 400 pieces and includes instructions for building six different coaster style models, all for learning about such physical phenomena as acceleration, inertia of mass, centrifugal force, the law of conservation of energy, the principle of linear momentum and laws of motion.
