T3G 2011 participant and science teacher Suzie Flentie runs a GIS Club at Lewistown (MT) Junior High School. The team won Montana's "Samsung Solve for Tomorrow" challenge, creating a survey with Survey123 and an app with Web AppBuilder, to help people report on emergencies and less dire situations where help is needed. (See entry movie.) They earned for the school $25k in tech from Samsung, and then went to the state GIS conference and presented there, and earned a cash award there. (Cool!) The local news picked up on the story and you can see it here:

GREAT JOB, Suzie and team!!
We ALWAYS want to know about these situations where students (or educators) get some recognition because of the use of GIS. Please be sure to let us know about these episodes!
