The MIRA team of Grant, Nebraska used their MIRA funds in a variety of ways. Their projects can be divided into three main categories: the school system, the health community, and community development.

In the school system the Grant team offered a class on the computer program Dragon Dictate to teachers, parents, and the public. A handicapped student at the local high school then put the program into use.

In community development the Grant team worked on the community website and offered computer classes at the local high schools computer lab for youth and adults. The youth classes focused mainly on teaching Avid Cinema skills. These skills were then put to use in the H.E.A.L. project, as Avid Cinema works created by the youth were used as displays to raise further money for the H.E.A.L. project. The adult classes were more one-on-one based, allowing the adults to attempt as few or as many classes as they wished and to focus their learning efforts on the applications and software that most interested them. In their work on the community website, the MIRA team did web pages for all of the businesses in Grant and took digital pictures of all of the businesses and gathered information on each for the page. The Grant MIRA team also had a professor from Chadron State College come and give a talk to the community on distance learning during a ten town meeting. Also during the meeting a representative from Prophet Systems, a pioneer in digital radio, gave a Power Point presentation to the towns.

In the health community the Grant team youth worked with Dr. Clifford Colglazier and the H.E.A.L. project (Health, Education, and Additional GoaLs) to bring tele-radiology to the Grant medical community. The tele-radiology technology utilizes the internet to provide better healthcare to the Grant community. Thanks to a T1 connection with medical facilities in North Platte, technicians in North Platte can read X-rays taken in Grant almost instantaneously. Prior to the introduction of this technology, X-rays taken in Grant were read on intervals by visiting North Platte technicians. The youth involved in this project receive exciting summer work experience as they helped bring this technological dream to fruition.

The MIRA Grant team also helped the Perkins Count Extension Agent by taking digital pictures of a diseased tree and sending via the internet to horticulturists in Lincoln, Nebraska to be analyzed. The team also educated itself, offering classes in JAVA script and HTML code to the MIRA students. Local web designer John Shipp taught these classes.
