Volunteer Mentors Needed- Engineering SMArT Michigan

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.
