The Engineering SMArT
Michigan program is a rigorous, hands-on science, math, architecture and
technology (SMArT) project focused on the over-arching theme of “energy” and
how it ties to engineering in everyday events. The program allows high school
students to apply concepts to real-life solutions by working in teams with
their teacher and engineer-mentors as they design energy-efficient homes.
Volunteer mentors are a
critical element to the success of the program and are needed to help teach and
coach in the classroom.
The 15 week program gets
underway in late January and finishes up at the competition, May 18, 2016.
Energy Module Mentors are asked to teach a minimum of one class period per week
for two weeks. Presentation Module Mentors are assigned to a school and asked
to teach a minimum of one class period per week for eight weeks. Efforts will
be made to schedule multiple Presentation Module mentors at each school in
order to ensure at least one mentor is in the classroom each week. Mentors
can volunteer for one or more schools.
Interested mentors can
volunteer through SWE by contacting Anne Dancy, VP of Outreach, at anne.dancy@facgroup.com.
