Sunburst Middle School's teachable moment

We recently told you that Sunburst Middle School recently  won a $20-thousand-dollar technology grant. The prize was part of a national project by Samsung to raise student interest in science, technology, engineering and math.
       Kim Bloch is a teacher in the school's gifted and talented program. Sunburst is a Class C school situated along north-central Montana's border with Canada; not far from the Port of Sweetgrass.
      Bloch's husband is a local Customs officer. She was certified as a gifted and talented teacher in Georgia. In this  interview with Edward O'Brien, Bloch says they love their life in Montana, but admit it was a bit of a transition when they first moved here:

Edward O’Brien first landed at Montana Public Radio three decades ago as a news intern while attending the UM School of Journalism. He covers a wide range of stories from around the state.
