With innovative learning concepts that are used worldwide in preschools, general education schools, universities, and vocational training, fischertechnik combines practical learning with the teaching of future skills.
In more than 60 countries, students use fischertechnik to gain their first technical experiences and continuously expand their knowledge. From Portugal to Brazil to China, creative constructions and innovative solutions are created in the classroom. Exchange and collaboration are just as important as the technical result.
The didactic foundation of all fischertechnik learning programs is the principle of action-oriented learning. Technical and scientific content becomes tangible by building, testing, and further developing it. In this way, students not only acquire specialist knowledge, but also skills such as structured thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork—skills that are indispensable in an increasingly digitalized world.
fischertechnik is particularly well suited for all-day schools and supplementary working groups. Here, the construction kits and learning concepts enable varied and motivating activities that promote important skills beyond regular classroom instruction. These programs teach skills that specifically prepare young people for their professional development, including technical understanding, cooperation, and problem-solving thinking.
The fischertechnik Education range covers a broad spectrum of topics, from mechanics and electronics to robotics and computer science to artificial intelligence and renewable energies. The modular construction kits are designed to be age-appropriate and can be used across different subjects. Didactically prepared accompanying materials with tasks, projects, and lesson suggestions support teachers in teaching STEM subjects in a practical and lively way.
The easy introduction to complex content is particularly appreciated in the classroom. The clearly structured tasks allow for flexible use, while the durable and sustainable building blocks can be used for many years. In addition, fischertechnik works closely with partners from education, science, and competitions. Collaborations with institutions such as Klett Verlag, the World Robot Olympiad, and the Fraunhofer Institute contribute to the continuous development of learning content and its adaptation to current requirements.
A practical example is a program sponsored by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, in which students learn the principle of computational thinking ( ) using the STEM Coding Max robotics set. This combines programming, logical thinking, and technical understanding and builds on them systematically.
fischertechnik brings technology to life – from the first mechanical basics to sophisticated future technologies. The learning concepts promote sustainable learning and teach skills that enable young people to actively shape the digital world.
