“ # VR  is better at getting rid of pain more than morphine is.” More about this tech therapy Big news this week, as Cisco announces its intent to acquire AppDynamics. Also, we explored how IoT can team up with pigeons to fight air pollution, how IoT is becoming the new normal, and how the new Spark Board will change everything with conferencing! Make sure you check out those top stories and more on The Network.
DARPA is kicking off a project to create a new way to enable U.S. troops working in remote areas around the world to securely send and receive sensitive information on their devices.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the research arm of the Department of Defense, said it's working on a project that would use software and networking technology to securely share information on unsecured commercial and military networks.

To engage the leaders of tomorrow, teachers need access to the right materials today. These materials need to be easily obtainable, affordable and reflect the academic standards that bring real-world scenarios into the classroom. Microsoft has created Hacking STEM, a monthly resource devoted to helping teachers modernize their current STEM curriculum through inquiry and project-based lesson plans, aligned to middle-school academic standards.
The Hacking STEM portfolio offers lessons and activities that integrate phenomenon-based learning experiences with a hands-on approach. Students build affordable scientific instruments that visualize data across space, earth, life and physical sciences curriculum. Each project is designed to cultivate classroom experiences solving real-world problems. Using computational and design thinking, students develop college and career-ready skills in context.
Hacking STEM partnered with the California Academy of Sciences and KQED last month to debut the “Earthquakes and Tectonic Plates” lesson plan, which introduces students to interpreting seismic data and using triangulation to predict the locations of tectonic plates. To enrich this lesson plan, Hacking STEM developed two hands-on activities that supplement teaching the core scientific principles behind earthquakes. These interdisciplinary activities had students use mechanical, electrical and software engineering with data science to bring the phenomenon of earthquakes to life in the classroom.
