High school students from around Montana have been honored, as part of a nationwide effort to encourage more women to pursue careers in technology.

Fourteen girls received the state Award for Aspirations in Computing for 2017, from the National Center for Women and Information Technology. Four more were named honorable mentions.

Two of the state winners, Samantha DeMartin of Jefferson High School and Betta Lyon-Delsordo of Big Sky High School, also received honorable mentions for the national awards. Carroll computer science professor Steve Harper says it was the first time Montana students earned that honor.
