DESCRIPTION:GeoGebra\, a free\, open-source\, dynamic mathematics software
 \, is rapidly gaining popularity in the teaching and learning of mathemati
 cs around the world. Currently\, GeoGebra is translated to 55 languages\, 
 used in 190 countries\, and downloaded by approximately 500\,000 users in 
 each month\, and clearly making an impact on mathematics education in most
  countries. This increased use compelled the establishment of the Internat
 ional GeoGebra Institute (IGI) that serves as a virtual organization to su
 pport local GeoGebra initiatives and institutes. There are already 132 ins
 titutes in 67 countries\, which pursue training and support of teachers\, 
 develop teaching materials\, and carry out research projects. In this talk
 \, I will outline the directions of GeoGebra software development\, its ex
 tension to STEM subjects\, activities of its community\, and the work of G
 eoGebra Institutes.
