Our Mentoring Philosophy

Teach Them! Work Beside Them! Advise Them! Let Them Do! Watch Them!

Mentors: Thank You for Volunteering!

We pride ourselves on running a student designed and built robotics program. To achieve this goal we encourage you to:

Teach Them by sharing both your hands on and theoretical knowledge. They are eager to learn.

Work Beside Them when they are first learning. They are only kids and many of them are completely new to drilling, wiring, programming and assembling an object.

Advise Them as they are continuing to learn. Build on the new knowledge they are gaining. Let them try to figure out the next step before telling them the answer.

Let Them Do as they work with both with their minds and their hands. This will lead to better retention of skills.

Watch Them and you will get a chance to observe young minds grow and develop a life-long interest in using their hands to design and build tomorrow's world.
