fischertechnik
is a remarkable model construction system
from Germany designed to provide a hands-on approach to technology
education.
Robotics
is today's leading-edge factory and automation technology.
It is increasingly difficult to justify a technology education
curriculum without addressing robotics. fischertechnik is
one of the oldest and most experienced producers of robot
kits. You
can imagine the pride of a student after they build a
robot
of their own for the first time!
Leading
educators across the United States, Canada and
the world have adopted fischertechnik as their recommended
robotics construction system after careful comparison and
investigation. Creative Learning Systems was the first educational
technology lab to utilize fischertechnik over 25years ago.
Since then other educational technology suppliers in the United
States like Modern School Supplies, Packston Patterson, Kelvin
Electronics and many more have utilized fischertechnik in
their classroom labs. fischertechnik is also popular
for utilization in home school curriculum, giving
children a modern and proven competitive-advantage in technology
education. You can learn more about incorporating fischertechnik
