Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Students at Bozeman High School are finishing up an inaugural computer programming class and earning college at the same time.

Taught by Montana State University professor John Paxton, "The Joy and Beauty of Computing," offers 25 students an overview of the world of computing, as well as a gentle introduction to computational thinking using the Python programming language.

The course, a dual-credit offering that gives students at the high school the opportunity to earn three MSU credits, is part of an effort to boost the number of Montana students on the computer science career track.
