The details of this program are covered in another publication [4].This collaboration functions across the entirety of North Dakota, which means distancebetween collaborators can be in excess of 300 miles. And for nearly half of theacademic year this distance is made more tortuous by some of the most challengingweather in the lower 48 states.

Looking back to the AAUW study, when girls were asked to describe a person good withcomputers, a majority of those interviewed described a man. In a 1997 survey of 652 college-bound highschool seniors in Silicon Valley, Boston and Austin, Texas, 50% of both male and female students said thatthe field of computer science was geared toward men.
