With contents such as a magnifying glass and beam paths of various lenses, the set introduces learners to complex topics such as projectors, microscopy, telescopy and spectra. Each model can be quickly set up due to the consistent lens holder combined with an optical bench, which is a device used to support the elements of a linear optical system. Its sophisticated design ensures that hands-on lessons run smoothly. 

A set contains a total of 142 parts, which can be used to build 18 models, such as a Galileo telescope, which the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei pointed at the stars for the very first time in the early 17th century. It can be used in groups and projects on astronomy and physics. Solar projectors and a shadow experiment can also be built with the set.

The accompanying educational material supports the pupils’ learning journey by providing detailed instructions, explanations and tasks in a comprehensive learning experience.

fischertechnik teaching material
fischertechnik’s STEM teaching concepts offer fascinating applications in robotics, renewable energy, pneumatics and artificial intelligence, as well as many other subject fields. Pupils explore key future technologies in a playful and hands-on manner, gaining digital skills step by step. The fischertechnik education sets convey knowledge that will be essential to many careers, preparing learners for their future. Teachers are supported in delivering relevant learning objectives in STEM subjects in line with abilities and the curriculum through stimulating and exciting lessons with the fischertechnik range of teaching materials. The learning concepts range from years 1 to 13 in primary and secondary schools through to vocational training and higher education. fischertechnik thereby enables schools of every kind to successfully navigate the digital transformation and deliver 21st-century skills. Young people learn skills such as critical thinking, reflective capacity, problem-solving, personal initiative and creativity. 

fischertechnik’s reputation for combining successful learning with fun has led teachers and psychologists at the Transfer Center for Neurosciences and Learning (ZNL) to recommend fischertechnik’s educational construction kits for Germany’s Spielen macht Schule school initiative.

In addition to toy sets and educational construction kits specifically designed for school lessons, fischertechnik also offers preassembled, compact function and simulation models for training and demonstration purposes. Training, development or presentations: fischertechnik’s training models are used across the globe for planning and simulation. They can be used to plan, develop and test industrial processes and offer versatile uses, particularly in the field of Industry 4.0.
