Bulgaria's education ministry is launching a platform today that gives every school in the country free access to ready-made lesson plans, teaching projects and other resources. The materials were developed under Intel's "Skills for Innovation" and "AI for Youth" programmes.

The launch is taking place at the National STEM Centre at Sofia Tech Park, and education minister professor Georgi Valchev is attending.

The centre was built with funding from Bulgaria's national recovery and resilience plan. Its new building opened at the end of September.

The centre trains students, prepares teams for olympiads and runs teacher training courses. It also hosts hands-on workshops, competitions and other education projects.
