Students at G.W. Carver Middle School and South Miami Middle School will receive Palm Pilot handheld computers for use in science classes as part of a grant from Palm, Inc.

The grant was awarded to the school district's Division of Instructional Technology and Media Support Services to assist in a study that will measure the value of handheld computers in the classroom. The aim of the project is to foster student interest in science by using the handheld computers, and thus, increase achievement.
