LigerBots Continue Their ‘Awesome Mentorship Project’ Connecting HS Students Online with Grades K-5

This fall, the LigerBots will continue their free Awesome Mentorship Project (AMP) connecting high-school mentors with elementary-school students for weekly online meetings to explore a wide variety of subjects from programming to the arts, to grammar and English. In addition to teaching, mentors and mentees can play games, be reading buddies, and do crafts. The AMP began last spring with 82 mentor pairs and expanded in the summer into a virtual summer camp with 150 students and 80 teachers. The LigerBots hope that more students of both age groups will join in this free service to help continue younger students’ education during this time, especially as the winter months approach. Parents/guardians may register their children here. High-school students interested in becoming mentors may sign up here. For more information, email the LigerBots at cso@ligerbots.com.
