Project Details
3.10 Deliverables
Objective:
The Stanford Mentoring Model project was intended to develop a program for university and high school mentoring program. Students in the program worked with technical mentors to demonstrate technical capability in the design, assembly, testing and operation of electronics applications to observe local and space environments. The hands-on activities were designed to build student interest and capabilities for engineering and science careers.
Stanford University provided the leadership on the project to engage the educational community, students and industry mentors. The basic "product" on this project was to work with mentors, teachers and students to develop mentoring programs and relationships at schools within the California Innovation Corridor, and to develop a set of guidelines mentoring programs. Several different programs and relationships were established on this project to mentor students on the development of electronic systems for variety of applications including payloads for balloon and rocket launches. BuzzBots, PearlSats, CricketSats, PolarBot, spacecraft simulators, and rocket payloads were some of the many items developed by students and mentors on this project.
