|content= GeoGebra is free, open-source software for mathematics, science and technology which has a rapidly-growing international user base. It is the STEM equivalent of “Office" style software for business. It has very many powerful features to support interactive use, which can pose a challenge for many to get started. Students are offered a unique opportunity to contribute to its adoption in UK education by developing 'real world' applications for use by students and teachers with a wide range of technical ability. In addition to responding to the technical challenge, students are tasked to demonstrate communication and collaboration skills including on-line interaction, team-working and face-to-face presentation. | |content= GeoGebra is free, open-source software for mathematics, science and technology which has a rapidly-growing international user base.
