Mentoring

This week, a mentor visited our team meeting: Jamie Hill. She is currently a teacher at Vantage Point Education in Duluth, Georgia, where she teaches physics and pre-engineering. She has a diverse background in engineering, which you can read about here. She described many of the jobs she's had, and it was really interesting to hear about when she managed a chemical plant.

She had lots of good advice for us. She suggested that we continue looking for "hands-on" opportunities to practice engineering through high school, like robotics. And she gave us advice about how to pursue an engineering degree. She was very encouraging.
