FISCHERTECHNIK: SECONDARY SCHOOL

The fischertechnik Robotics TXT 4.0 Base Set is an ideal introduction to professional programming and robotics. This comprehensive kit includes everything needed to start building and programming a wide range of robotic models, making it perfect for educational settings.

The set features a camera with image processing capabilities, an ultrasound sensor, two encoder motors, a track sensor, a phototransistor, two buttons, and two LEDs. These components allow students to create various models, from pedestrian signals to barcode scanners and mobile robots equipped with encoder motors, cameras, and sensors.

The models can be programmed and controlled using the ROBO Pro Coding graphic programming software and the ROBOTICS TXT 4.0 controller. The set is accessible to beginners through ready-made example programs, while more advanced users can dive directly into programming using the Blockly library or Python.

The kit includes twelve models and twenty-five experiments, all supported by comprehensive teaching materials that provide both introductory and advanced information. Key learning objectives covered by this set include understanding analog and digital sensors, data transmission and encryption, coding and decoding, image processing, and both graphic and text-based programming.

Get started with professional-grade data logging and Internet of Things (IoT) technology with the fischertechnik Robotics Add On: IoT. This expansion set, used in conjunction with the Robotics Base Set, allows students to create a stationary sensor station capable of measuring air temperature, humidity, air pressure, air quality, and brightness.

The sensor station can be programmed and controlled using the ROBO Pro Coding software and the ROBOTICS TXT 4.0 controller. It is an excellent tool for teaching critical concepts such as data logging, programming, and the application of actuators and sensors.

The collected sensor data is stored in a cloud memory via the connection to the TXT 4.0 Controller, where it can be accessed, analyzed, and graphically displayed. The user interface, known as the “Dashboard,” allows continuous monitoring of various sensor data and enables remote control of a camera that swivels on two axes.

This set includes teaching materials that provide six experiments along with their solutions, making it a valuable addition to any IoT learning module. Key learning objectives covered include data acquisition, network connections, cloud computing, and the fundamentals of IoT.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to be one of the most important technologies of the future, and this construction set is designed to inspire early interest in this field. The fischertechnik Add On: AI introduces students to the fundamentals of AI in an engaging and hands-on way, providing a solid foundation for understanding how AI technologies function.

The set includes three models, each with different levels of difficulty, showcasing the wide range of AI applications. These models offer a perfect starting point for students to explore this cutting-edge technology. Accompanying the set are educational materials tailored for classroom use, which help to deepen students' comprehension of AI concepts and their potential real-world applications.
