IEEE REACH (
reach.ieee.org) provides free online resources that focus on the History of Technology, and how technology impacts society, culture, politics and economics, and vice versa. This Thursday, May 14th, our sister resource program - TryEngineering - will host a free, live, webinar.
The TryEngineering, Hands-On Design Challenge, Webinar will highlight IEEE REACH -
Electric Lighting – Through the Lens of History! Check out this video on
Edison, The Wizard of Menlo Park, and join us on May 14th to learn how your students can make an electric light bulb with cardboard tube and pencil lead! Technology doesn't live in a vacuum, "it is, rather, an "intertwining" where by technology…operates in a complex social field" (Andrew Murphy and John Potts,
Culture and Technology, 2003)
