The Supercomputing Challenge teams are always in need of project advisors. Mentor opportunities go from September through April.
The Challenge needs people to mentor elementary, middle school and high school projects during the September through April Challenge year. Judges are needed to evaluate projects in February and at the April Expo.
New Mexico residents preferred, but volunteers can help virtually.
Help with fundraising to keep the program going would also be useful. The Supercomputing Challenge has been helping students learn STEM and workforce skills since 1990.
See https://supercomputingchallenge.org for details.
