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.

An engineering professor at Montana State University has developed a non-credit online course that introduces robotics as a method for teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM. The course is designed for pre- and in-service teachers and is also appropriate for youth leaders, coaches or parents who are supporting FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotic competition teams.

The introductory course is designed for people who have never built or programmed a robot. Units cover computer systems and programming; robot construction, locomotion and autonomy; sensors; and common robot challenges. The course uses the LEGO Mindstorms robotic platform and supports both the NXT and EV3 versions.
