The focus of these telementor relationships is both to assist students in the areas of math and science and to build the skills they need to pursue their primary interests in a professional and efficient way. This year we have 1,600 students and teachers from 40 states participating. Electronic mail is used for all communication between the HP mentor and the student. Students are encouraged to excel in math, science and other basic academic skills. HP mentors help students pursue unique personal and academic interests.
Teachers supervise student telementoring projects.
We encourage those interested to submit an application as soon as possible. The deadline for school contact applications is September 30, 1997. If you have any questions regarding the HP E-mail Mentor Program, please feel free to contact me.
