Who are our Mentors?

NSBE’s SEEK program recruits undergraduate students and professionals dedicated to mentoring and providing support to elementary students in underprivileged communities through STEM education. Our mentors are tasked with teaching engineering concepts in a fun and motivating environment. They are positive role models that allow students to envision themselves in STEM career fields. They are part friend, part counselor, part teacher and serve as ideal role models to our students.
