With over 380 pieces and the aid of sensors (phototransistors, push buttons) and actuators (XS motors, LED light barriers), students can construct 12 easy-to understand models such as hand dryer, carousel, level crossing, conveyor belt with stamping machine and mobile caterpillar machine. The BT Smart Controller with 4 inputs for sensors and 2 outputs for motors and lamps features a USB port and a Bluetooth 4.0 port. The ROBO Pro Light software (available for download) makes it possible to program the models quickly, easily and in a way that is easy to follow. In addition, it is also possible to program the models using a tablet (initially Android) via an app. Comprehensive instructions are provided on the fischertechnik eLearning portal (fischertechnik-elearning.com) to support the student’s learning process and to explain the programming in an easy-to-follow way. The new BT Smart Controller will also work with Scratch. For the engineers and programmers of tomorrow. Recommended: 1 set per 2 students.

First programming steps!
Writing your own program, and thus bringing a robot to life, is incredibly exciting and thrilling! It is impossible to imagine today's world without this vital technology. To introduce even the youngest students to this exciting and important topic, our fischertechnik FIRST CODING is the ideal choice. This introduction to computer science and robotics succeeds through the use of ready-made components, along with a whole lot of hands-on fun. The two motors and sensors are integrated in a ready-to-use block. That means: switch on, connect to the mobile device via Bluetooth and get started! The simple graphical programming environment with the ready-made examples is age appropriate. Creating your first original program is child's play with the software.

The study of rocks is an essential part of studying the age and evolution of Earth. In Rocks, students will examine the characteristics of each of the major types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. From stalactites and stalagmites to intrusive and extrusive rocks, students will examine how rocks are formed in this exciting program. A visit to Mammoth Mountain in California showcases the interesting rock formation known as the Obsidian Dome, while a fun, hands-on demonstration illustrates how different sized-particles of sediment settle out of water at different rates. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.
