In fact, fischertechnik was the very first construction set manufacturer to provide students with the ability to both build and program their own robotic models, using the original, pre-"Macintosh" era Apple computers. The fischertechnik Robotics line enables students or hobbyists to construct realistic, fully-functional automated models. Whether you want to build a mobile robot for competion purposes, or an automated conveyor belt to explore and understand control systems and mechatronics, fischertechnik provides you with the tools to do so. fischertechnik STEM Fundamentals kits are optimized for practice-oriented work from the middle and high school level upwards. 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.
