Richard Byrne, author of a blog on free technology for teachers, talked to several Microsoft employees at the BETT Show about Microsoft?s ?Hacking STEM? effort. ?Hacking STEM? provides teachers with a free library of STEM lesson plans that don?t require spending significant money on physical materials. These lesson plans are detailed and include materials lists and learning objectives. The project provides both one-day lesson plans, such as a homemade wave machine, and multi-day lesson plans, such as one that involves harnessing electricity to communicate.
