Its Education division develops digital education products under the Solectric Education name, supporting children in developing STEM (MINT) skills through playful learning, and provides hardware, software, teaching materials and online educational resources. Beyond drones, Solectric distributes photo and video cameras, robotics and manufacturing technology products such as 3D printing, and smart home and other smart devices including motorcycle assistants. The company also provides consulting, sales, training, maintenance and repair services, and supports customers with approvals, training and technical support.
