SLB Mentorship Program
Everyone has ideas and interests, and the SLB Mentorship Program is meant to help students apply themselves and develop a lifelong love of problem-solving and research! Our experienced high school mentors will help students maximize their potential to create successful science fair projects. Please note that priority for mentorship will be given to those from Alameda County Title 1 Schools, with more details provided below. We are also looking for mentees that are new to the science fair or who want to get more involved with the fair process.
