SFX mentoree Recognized in Indian Country Today

Former SFX mentoree Daniel Pedro was recognized in a recent article in Indian Country Today for his work in integrating computer technology into anthropology. Pedro, who is now a freshman at the University of New Mexico campus in Gallup, knew his career as an anthropologist could run afoul of his native Zuni restrictions on handling human remains so he learned to create three-dimensional models that could complement traditional archeological field work. He began working on the project while he was a student at the Santa Fe Indian School and ultimately received a Judge’s Choice award for his work in the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge. He was mentored on his project at sfComplex. The Indian Country Today article is here.
