Become a Sigma Xi Mentor for Bloom-Carrol Science Students

The students at Bloom-Carroll High School are gearing up to take part in the 2019-2020 science fair circuit and need your help! We are looking for people within the scientific community at large willing to mentor a student on an as-needed basis as they work to develop their science fair project. Volunteers should be willing to partake in at least two in-person meetings with the student (one at the start of the mentoring program and one before their local science fair). All other communication can take place in a manner that is convenient for you (e-mail, telephone, video call, etc.). This is your opportunity to help a young budding scientist succeed and thrive!

Sigma Xi will be hosting a meet-and-greet session at Bloom Carroll High School on September 10th, 2019 (2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.). Join us then!
