High school students in five rural Montana communities will have the opportunity to attend a weeklong camp this summer focused on developing geospatial skills. The camp is being made possible thanks to an $85,000 grant awarded to Montana State University from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and will require collaboration with a partner organization in each of the five communities.

The offering is part of MSU’s ongoing effort to provide opportunities for middle school and high school students in STEM – or science, technology, engineering and mathematics – fields, according to Suzi Taylor, director of the Science Math Resource Center at MSU, which is hosting the camp along with the MSU Department of Earth Sciences.
