fischertechnik School Catalogue 2020

What is fischertechnik? fischertechnik is the flexible and innovative construction system, built around the unique fischertechnik building block which allows attachment to all six sides. fischertechnik – the building blocks to an engaging STEM education program These days it seems everywhere you turn, leading educators are stressing the importance of STEM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The reason for this is simple: Demand for scientists and engineers is expected to grow at a rate far exceeding any other occupational field. At the same time fewer and fewer students are pursuing careers in these areas. When they are, they are often not performing at a sufficient level of academic achievement to be successful. While most schools do address the areas of Science and Maths to varying degrees, the two aspects of the STEM education equation that are most often overlooked are the “T” and the “E”– technology and engineering. To help close this gap, you need materials that allow you to provide an engaging, hands-on introduction to technology and essential STEM related concepts. You need fischertechnik!

ADDITIONS SCRATCH Combine fischertechnik Robotics Sets with the visual, easy to learn programming language Scratch. Scratch is free and easy to integrate into fischertechnik Robotics. ScratchX for TXT Controller and ScratchX for BT Smart Controller make it possible to use both fischertechnik controllers on PCs or laptops along with the easy to learn programming language Scratch. Short applications for controlling motors and lights via buttons, light barriers and many other sensors can be created in a flash. Much larger programmes can also be created thanks to the diverse options the Scratch programming language offers. ARDUINO & RASPBERRY PI The new fischertechnik adapters bridge the gap between the popular controllers Arduino UNO, Arduino MEGA and Raspberry Pi and the versatile fischertechnik construction kit system. Advanced users can use the fischertechnik system to create complex mechanical models.

CREATIVE NE W CREATIVE BOX BASIC 630 The Creative Box Basic allows pupils to unleash their creativity! Equipped with many basic building blocks, angle brackets and other „basics“, this set is perfectly suited to create something great: It allows freestyle building, reconstructing an existing theme and expanding an existing project. The simple and flexible functionality of the building blocks is explained in brief instructions, so that every pupil can get started immediately! In order to stow away everything neat and tidy when the job is done, the Creative Box Basic is supplied in a sorting box which effectively prevents building block chaos and minimises searching time. The large fischertechnik base plate, which simultaneously serves as the lid for the sorting box, can be used as the foundation for the models. > Packaged in a sturdy “Box 1000“ Kit key points: Building blocks / corner blocks / building plates / static elements / large base construction plate Item No. 554195 EAN 4048962390490 Models - Components 630 Dim.

Be it a worm drive, chain transmission, a winch or any other technical theme: they can simply be reconstructed with this box! Based on the model, it is then easy to recognise and understand the functions, while the building itself promotes constructive thinking. The functionality and the interaction of the included fischertechnik building blocks are briefly explained, allowing an easy and quick start. In order to prevent chaos after the completion of the Kit key points: Gear wheels / pinions / axles / worms and other drive components construction, the Creative Box Mechanics is delivered in two sorting boxes - ideal to avoid searching times for individual building blocks. The sorting boxes are closed by a large fischertechnik base plate which is ideally suited as a basis plate for creative building. > Packaged in two sturdy “Box 500“ Item No. 554196 EAN 4048962390506 Models - Components 290 Dim.

TRAINING & SIMULATION fischertechnik is widely used in industry for vocational training, as well as simulation purposes for realistic representation and simulation of complex systems. The function models are a proven and inexpensive means to plan and to develop industrial applications. They are employed worldwide in the areas of training, development and presentation. The flexibility and the modularity of the fischertechnik system in connection with the industrially adapted sensors and actuators as well as PLC´s from leading manufacturers open up almost unlimited possibilities for hardware simulation. Complicated technical systems are presented realistically and thus perfectly simulated so that they are understandable for everyone. This makes investment decisions easier and reduces the costs for the correction of planning mistakes. The Factory Simulation (is a combination of the models Sorting Line With Color Detection, Multi Processing Station With Oven, Automated High-Bay Warehouse and Vacuum Gripper Robot. It is available in both 9V and 24V version. More information: www.fischertechnik.de/en/simulating and in the separate catalogue „Training Models“ INDUSTRY 4.0 INTERNET OF THINGS fischertechnik factory simulations are already prepared for Industry 4.0 today. Core topics in digitally networked production can be visualized physically and demonstrated in an easy to understand way, enriched with sensors and combined with a cloud. These include preventative maintenance, production quality predictions, human-machine interactions, remote control, data exchange via dashboard. The SAP UCC has developed a teaching scenario with case studies that helps both teachers and students alike to understand the opportunities offered by Industry 4.0.
