Developed to inspire creative and critical thinking while teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, fischertechnik facilitates competitions throughout North America. Competitions offer an addendum to classroom work and generate enthusiasm by students, and a mentoring system with industry partners. These competitions are becoming very popular very quickly thanks to a very affordable product and the no fee registration cost of the program.
