Time Warner Cable STEM Mentoring Program
Purpose of Program: To inform and encourage students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math through entertaining and interactive activities.
Scope of Work: The GAHCC will work with 15 sixth grade students once a month during advisory period. During these monthly sessions, the students, along with their assigned mentor, will participate in activities exploring STEM industries. The student’s family will be welcome to participate and snacks will be provided. The monthly sessions will last through May 2011.
Mentoring: Each student will be assigned a mentor. The purpose of the mentor is not to advise the student on life issues, but to guide them through the exploration of STEM activities. It will be required that the mentor meet with the student once a month during the scheduled STEM activity session.
