UM launches Montana American Indian math and science program

From University of Montana
MISSOULA — Rows of hollow computer towers lay sideways on desks in a small lecture hall in the University of Montana’s James E. Todd Building this week. Nineteen students, all rising seventh and eighth graders, hunch over the towers, delicately fitting RAM into place. Each student is building his or her own computer to take home at the end of a two-week summer camp.
