How does solar energy work? What sets mechanics in motion? And why is balance so crucial? The new miniMINT wooden construction kits from fischertechnik answer precisely these questions in a playful way. The series makes technology tangible—with your own hands, without any prior knowledge.

The 12 different miniMINT fischertechnik kits combine precision-crafted wooden elements with simple electronics and solar modules. Children aged 8 and up discover the basics of renewable energies, mechanical processes, and physical balance step by step. What at first glance looks like a toy quickly turns out to be a clever learning tool for dexterity, logical thinking, and technical understanding.

Three models from the innovative set are powered exclusively by sunlight. This allows young inventors to experience firsthand how sustainable energy works – in a clear, tangible way that really makes them go "aha!"

Thanks to their affordable design, the miniMINT kits are ideal as souvenirs, gifts, educational toys, or joint projects for the whole family. Even "kidults" – adults who enjoy building and experimenting – will get their money's worth here.

The highlight: with twelve different models, there is an attractive collectible character that invites further building, swapping, and discovery. Each kit tells its own little technical story and broadens the understanding of sustainable innovations.

The wooden fischertechnik miniMINT kits are carefully crafted, look original, and are made from FSC-certified wood – for sustainable fun that respects the environment and nature. This means that children and families can build and discover with a clear conscience.

About fischertechnik — Understanding technology through play
For decades, the fischertechnik brand has stood for high-quality building and construction sets that encourage curiosity and creative thinking. Starting at age three, fischertechnik—with its sustainable craft material fischerTiP—provides a playful introduction to the world of construction and design. Building on this, fischertechnik offers affordable starter sets that provide quick and easy access to technology. As children get older and their interest grows, the product lines lead step by step to more sophisticated construction kits – right up to programmable systems and simulation models that enable students and adults to understand real processes within a modern factory. In this way, fischertechnik teaches technical and STEM knowledge in a playful way from an early age – skills that are invaluable for later careers in technology and the natural sciences.
