Fischertechnik STEM E-Tronic Electronics Principles Kit 9 years+ plastic

The Fischertechnik STEM E-Tronic kit allows children to discover the principles of electronics through play. With this construction set, children can build simple circuits, series and parallel circuits, and electronic switches using transistors, capacitors, resistors, and LEDs. The kit teaches the basic principles of electronics step-by-step, from simple components to complex ones, such as alternating flashing lights.

At the heart of the set is the electronic module, a controller with 16 preset programs. It features two motor outputs, three analog sensor inputs, and a potentiometer for controlling motor speed. This versatility allows for the construction of a variety of interesting models, and the included assembly instructions guide the child step-by-step to build 16 different models.

The set contains 340 parts, including 2 push-buttons, a reed contact, an XS motor, the electronic module with 16 fixed programs, 2 transistors, 2 resistors, a capacitor, 2 LEDs, and a 9V battery holder. All components are made of plastic and are designed to be combined into increasingly complex configurations as the child advances in their understanding of electronics.

The product is recommended for ages 9 and up and is manufactured in Germany by Fischertechnik, in compliance with EN71 and ASTM regulations. As a safety measure, it is contraindicated for children under 3 years old due to small parts, and adult supervision is recommended during play. Read the instructions before use, follow them, and keep them for future reference.
