fischertechnik education can be used to demonstrate the mobility of the future. The STEM Coding Competition set explains how autonomous robots work. It is also ideal for challenging robotics competitions.
Writing their own robotics story is a special experience for young model builders, and one they can easily achieve with fischertechnik’s STEM Coding Competition set.
The 258-part set for an individual chassis comprises a high-performance TXT 4.0 controller, three ultrasound sensors, a powerful encoder motor, a camera, a differential gear, Ackermann steering including a servo motor as well as a battery and power adapter. This allows an autonomous robot to be built, which can be programmed using fischertechnik’s block-based Robo Pro Coding software or through Python.
With their stability and numerous features, the robot models are strong contenders in any competition. A self-driving robot can orientate itself in a contained space and identify the distance to objects in front of it using the three ultrasound sensors. The differential gear allows the wheels to move at different speeds with the same propulsive force. This balances the speeds of the wheels, particularly when taking corners. Ackermann steering precisely steers the vehicle driven by a servo motor.
The STEM Coding Competition concept is ideal for robotics competitions such as the World Robot Olympiad (WRO). In its Future Engineers category, teams build and programme their own autonomous vehicles to compete in regional, national and global competitions.
fischertechnik teaching material sets
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.
