This kit enables students to learn through practical experience of building and investigating structures to meet design challenges. Suitable for a group of 2 to 3 students.
Covers: recognising structures; rigidity and the effects of shape on strength; struts and ties; compressive and tensile loading; triangular frame structures; stability and centre of mass.
“Fischertechnik is an ideal material for investigating structures. It can be used in compression and in tension, and deflection can be clearly seen without destroying the structure”.
