==Math4 at RIT FAQ==
;What year are most of the RIT Students?
:Most are Jr and Sr in their Major field of study
;What are they learning?
:Their participation in the Fedora Ambassador North America push for a 4th grade math curriculum will give them experience with Open Source Software development. Beyond that, the students will be choosing what areas of development they participate in.
;Are they math majors? Eduction majors? mixed volunteers?
:As of this writing, we do have a mix of community volunteers working on this project. The RIT students are divided between Computer Science, Networking, Information Tech, Software engineering and Telecommunications Majors. The students also have the benefit of Eric Grace, a New York State Certified K-12 teacher, as the co-professor for the course.
;Do they have 4th graders lined up?
:Some. The Fedora Ambassador network has volunteers with a vast array of backgrounds and I do know of a small test group in California.
