Calling all Mentors
Our 5th-grade team with 100+ students wants to study existing ways we explore space. The teachers were hoping that each class (6 classes) could be assigned a mentor to listen to student ideas (Status Reports).
Time Commitment for Mentors:
Only one hour per week for 3 weeks. (virtual or in-person)
- Week One: March 7-11
- Week Two: March 21-25
- Week Three: April 4-8
At the end of this adventure, the students will present a proposal for a mission to explore space. The final proposals may end up as podcasts, videos, websites, art, or other creative formats. The mentors listen and offer simple advice. Please email michelle.gasser@stemk12.org if interested.
