STEMentors is an program by Newton North HS students, led by juniors Rachel Kimball and Peter Dukakis and advised by NNHS Chemistry teacher David Bennett, to provide free, engaging STEM lessons to K-8 students through virtual drop-in classes, lessons with NPS classrooms, 1:1 math tutoring, and guest speaker sessions.
The next session in the STEMentors Guest Speaker series will feature Arielle Conti, a sensor systems engineer at MITRE and NNHS alum, speaking online on February 17, 4:30PM-5:30PM, about her career path and a bit about geodesics. The event is free and aimed for Grades 6-8 but open to all. Register here.
STEMentors is also distributing free STEAM Kits for Kids, under the initiative of NNHS sophomore Sabrina Cohen. These kits provide materials for hands-on experiments that may be conducted standalone or in conjunction with STEMentors free, online STEM sessions. They are aimed primarily for Grades 3-5 but others may apply. Sign up for kits here.
