The STEM Mentor Project 

Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) 

Are you excited about your major or career? 

Get Involved by Being a Mentor!

Are you involved with a STEM-related career or college major and willing to share your knowledge, excitement, and experiences with a high school student with a disability who is interested in STEM? We are particularly interested in recruiting mentors who experience challenges in learning (ADHD, Dyslexia), and other types of disabilities (physical, health, vision, hearing, ASD).  

You can make a difference! 

 As a Mentor, you will:

¨       Meet with your mentee two times a month between April and September, 2010

¨       Share your enthusiasm about STEM careers with your mentee

¨       Help mentees learn about things they can do to pursue a STEMcareer

 The Project Provides:

¨       Orientation and training

¨       $250 stipend as a thank-you for your time at the end of the program

¨       Recognition from the National Science Foundation
