fischertechnik is a German construction kit developed 60 years ago. It is used throughout the world for K-12 STEM Education, pre-built models for simulation and visualization of industrial applications and university engineering courses. The basic building block can be built onto all six sides. This German design and engineered block forms the basis for all fischertechnik construction sets, which are put together according to age and capabilities of the students. The sets cover many topics incl. Mechanics, Statics, Electronics, Pneumatics, Hydraulics, Optics, Renewable Energies, Drive Systems, Physics, Mechatronics, Robotics and Industry 4.0 / IoT. They are supported by building instructions and tutorials as well as storage systems for everyday classroom use.
