Female STEM Students Wanted as Mentors
Dear students, the online mentoring program CyberMentor is looking for female STEM mentors. Help us get girls excited about STEM!
What is CyberMentor?
Since 2005, our largest scientifically accompanied program in Germany has been successfully inspiring schoolgirls for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). For the round start in October we are again expecting up to 800 motivated female students.
Working STEM women from business and science as well as female students of a STEM subject from the 3rd semester and trainees from the 2nd year of training can act as mentors. They accompany a female student online for one year and exchange ideas via our protected online platform.
CyberMentor works: Due to the great support of dedicated female mentors, 62% of the participants surveyed later decided to study or train in the STEM field. This means they were twice as likely to choose STEM as female students in their respective age cohorts (31%).
What are the program´s goals?
- Encourage girls' interest in the STEM field
- Highlight study and career options
- Break down stereotypes (STEM is not for girls) and thus encourage girls to do what they are interested in
- Show that STEM is fun!
How does the mentoring work?
- Online mentoring of a student from 5th to 13th grade
- Weekly exchanges of 30 minutes - flexible schedule
- Program duration one year, participation free of charge
- Role model as a STEM woman: support with STEM projects, exchange on STEM topics, Education & career
- Exchange four times a year with your mentee's STEM teacher (CyberMentor Plus)
How do you benefit as a mentor?
- Network with up to 800 other STEM women
- Online training & helpful tips on mentoring on the platform
- Exclusive offers from our sponsors and partners
- Gain experience through mentoring
- Voluntary commitment by promoting young talents
