Vision Development for International GeoGebra Institute Conference
Join us for the International GeoGebra Institute (IGI) Conference, where we will collaborate to establish a vision, structure, and activities for IGI. The agenda includes presentations, workshops on software development, material creation, and discussions on funding and training. Our event features networking opportunities, coffee breaks, and meals at local venues. Engage with educators and researchers to promote the use of GeoGebra in mathematics education. Help us build a self-sustaining community dedicated to innovative teaching and learning.
