Gates Jr. loves exploring people’s family roots, and hoping that type of digging by middle-school and college students will also ignite interest in science and math. Gates and his colleagues just got a funding grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to create a genealogy and genetics summer camp for middle school children and another grant from the National Science Foundation for college-level courses. The summer camps will start at Penn State University and the University of South Carolina this summer and at the American Museum of Natural History in 2017. (AP Photo/Steven Senne, File)
