Scientists: mentor a high school student this summer

by Dudley Public Service

The Research Science Institute (RSI) needs you to serve as a mentor for its participants this summer, particularly if you are a bioscientist, physicist, engineer, or environmental scientist! RSI is an intensive, highly-compressed 6-week introduction to scientific research and discovery for extremely bright rising high school seniors; it runs from late June through early August. Research projects are the centerpiece of the program. Over 4 weeks, students work in academic, corporate, or government sponsored groups in the Boston/Cambridge area under the guidance of their mentors. Questions that are somewhat self-contained yet fit into the mentor's larger research agenda, and tend to offer students a productive balance of apprenticeship and autonomy make for the best mentorships. If you have any questions about or are interested in becoming a mentor for RSI 2014, please email the director, Dr. Andy Charman (acharman(a)mit.edu). For more information about RSI, please read the attached letter. Feel free to share this with postdocs in your lab or research group that you think would be good as or willing to be mentors as well. *TL;DR version* 1. If you are a scientist, engineer, or applied mathematician, an RSI 2014 student may need you to be his or her mentor! 2. If you're asking, 'What is RSI?,' read the attachment or the summary above. 3. If you are willing to answer the call to be a mentor, email acharman(a)mit.edu 4. Thank you!
