Standards-Focused, Curriculum-Based STEM

fischertechnik's line of curriculum-based STEM sets are designed as a "turn-key" option for educators and homeschoolers who need a comprehensive, and standards focused solution for teaching essential aspects of technology. Each of these five sets features detailed currciulum created by noted educator and STEM expert, Tom White.

The pair of Introduction to STEM sets are designed specifically for engaging and educating students in grades 2 through 5 in the fundamentals of  Simple Machines, Robotics, and Coding. Includes experiments and teaching materials for brief projects that can easily be addressed in a class period or two.

The fischertechnik STEM PREP 2.0 and STEM Engineering sets are designed to provide educators with an ideal integration of project-based learning and standards-based curriculum for students in middle and high school. Being "project-based", the emphasis is on students conducting extensive research, trial and error experimention, and documenting the entire process. The curriculum materials are designed to address standards for:

• College and Career Readiness Standards - for Math, Science, Reading and Writing
• NSES Content Standards
• Standards for Technological Literacy
• ISTE Standards
• Next Generation Science Standards

Finally, the Robotics Competition Set uses the same project-based, standards focused method of instruction, built around teaching core concepts of robotics and control neccesary to successfully participate in robotics competitions at the local, national, or international level. Like the previous two sets, the material is designed for middle and high school use.
