The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

In his first lesson in computer coding, Bozeman third-grader Carter Chapo learned how to give simple directions to move a figure on a laptop computer screen through a staircase maze.

"Woo hoo! I figured it out!" the 8-year-old said Wednesday. "It’s kind of like a game."

Teaching this basic coding lesson to third-graders were 13 Montana State University seniors, all majoring in elementary education, all taking a class in education technology.
