fischertechnik has gained a new Brand Ambassador with Niklas Kaul, the decathlete world champion and a future physics teacher. Together, they are committed to making technology accessible through play.

Niklas Kaul, who has achieved extraordinary athletic success in addition to doing an impressive teaching degree specialising in physics, is an ideal match for the values and objectives of fischertechnik. In sport, Kaul shows perseverance, determination and a desire for continuous improvement, and as a budding teacher, he represents the importance of education and passing on knowledge.

The toy manufacturer fischertechnik stands for making technology accessible for all ages with an emphasis on promoting future skills and establishing a basic technical understanding among children and young people. The innovative construction kits provide entertaining lessons while preparing young people for major issues of the future, such as artificial intelligence, robotics and renewable energy.

The company is reflecting the growing importance of learning through play with its wide range of construction kits for robotics, renewable energy and a general understanding of technology. The subject of renewable energy entails teaching children how renewable energy works at a young age so that they understand its significance for future developments in energy generation. Young tinkerers can use solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis using the corresponding construction kits. The energy generated by the reverse reaction can then be used to power a vehicle. In addition to renewable energy, the fischertechnik portfolio includes traditional static, mechanical, pneumatic and electronics sets as well as age-appropriate programmable robots.

With Niklas Kaul as a partner, fischertechnik demonstrates that STEM subjects aren’t just suitable for the classroom – they can also be used to prepare children for the big issues of the future in a playful manner.
