Meet a Mentor
Meet a Mentor is a unique initiative designed to utilise the power of technology to bring science, engineering and technology to rural students.
The video conferencing series will consist of 4-6 one hour sessions covering a variety of disciplines in SET, with each session airing live monthly.
- Each mentor session will involve dynamic speaker teams from a specific discipline, including mentors from academia, government, and industry.
- The sessions will include an introduction of the session topic, a simple hands-on activity & discussion, and an interactive question & answer period.
- The final session of the series will unite speakers from the related disciplines for a collaborative conclusion.
