With its STEM Renewable Energies kit, fischertechnik provides a complete package for teachers who want to approach future-oriented technologies in a fun way. Comprehensive descriptions provide good preparation for the topic. Various tasks and solutions add value to the lessons and illustrate the functioning of renewable energies in a sustainable way. 

The construction kit contains nine models with which a total of 28 experiments can be carried out. Wind energy is explained using three models, including a wind turbine, a wind turbine and a vertical wind turbine. 

Various vehicle models, which are assembled in just a few steps, illustrate the principle of solar energy. Does the electric car really drive faster with lots of light? What happens when solar energy is stored? The gold cap inside serves as an energy store and can release the energy fed in. 

Models with fuel cells combined with hydrogen offer a step into the next dimension of electromobility. Research has shown that hydrogen cars have a very high level of efficiency. This can be tested at when the fuel cell is attached to the vehicle. The fuel cell is charged via the solar panel and H2 and O2 are produced as fuel in the water-filled cylinders. The fuel cell then generates electricity from H2 and O2 and the "car of the future" drives off.

The STEM Renewable Energies construction kit has 268 components. Further information is available at www.fischertechnik.de.

The teaching aid sets from fischertechnik 
The new fischertechnik learning concepts support the teaching of relevant learning objectives in the STEM subjects in stimulating and exciting teaching units in line with competences and educational plans. The learning concepts range from grades 1 to 13 in primary and secondary schools to vocational training and higher education. In this way, fischer-technik enables schools of all kinds to successfully master the digital transformation and the teaching of future skills. In the process, young people acquire skills such as critical thinking, the ability to reflect, problem-solving skills, initiative and creativity. 

Because fischertechnik reliably combines learning success with fun, educationalists and psychologists from the Transfer Centre for Neuroscience and Learning (ZNL) have recommended the fischertechnik construction sets for the "Playing makes school" campaign.

In addition to the sets in the toy sector and the learning construction kits, which were specially developed for use in school lessons, compact functional and simulation models that have already been assembled are offered for training and demonstration purposes. Whether training, development or presentation: fischertechnik training models are used worldwide in the areas of planning and simulation. They can be used to plan, develop and test industrial processes. They are particularly versatile in terms of Industry 4.0.
