Pairings

Mentors and mentees will be paired before the program begins based on time zone, age, and discipline (science, tech, and writing). Mentors are all very qualified high school/undergraduate students who have heavy experience in the field (awards, relevant test scores, publications, etc.) 

Timeline

They will meet once a week for at least one hour on Zoom or Google Meet for the duration of the program. In the first month (September), the mentor will primarily be teaching and conducting workshops on the different fields within the mentee’s chosen discipline but also allowing the mentee to begin brainstorming a specific project to focus on. In the second month (October), the mentee should be working on their project.
