fischertechnik Introduction to STEM II

Description

Engage your students with hands-on activities that will help them develop an interest and aptitude in robotics, computer science, and other STEM subjects. This education set is recommended for grades 3-5 and includes a standards-based curriculum. Based on the easy-to-use ROBO Pro Light software that allows students to get started quickly, this set introduces programming activities and incorporates robotics as a catalyst for interactive learning. Students can construct 12 simple models such as a hand dryer, windshield wipers, a lighthouse with blinking light, a merry-go-round, or an automatic sliding door. The kit includes over 200 pieces, including one ROBO LT Controller (USB interface/USB power supply), ROBO PRO Light software, an XS motor, two lights, a lens tip lamp, a photo-transistor, and two switches. The kit comes packed in a sturdy plastic storage box. We recommend one set for every two students. Set includes access to free downloadable curriculum.

NOTE: A Windows-based PC is required for operation.
