We are seeking proactive undergraduate and graduate students to serve as Instructor-Mentors. In this dual role, you will act as both a recruiter (bringing high school students to your campus) and an academic instructor (guiding them through a 4-month blended-learning data science and AI research project).

• Curriculum Supervision: Oversee student progression through Cisco Networking Academy (Data Science Essentials with Python), open-data inquiry, and scientific writing.
• Conference Preparation: Guide your student teams as they prepare research manuscripts, YouTube project reports, and 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) presentations for our national conferences (held at U of T, U of C, and Quebec venues).
• Campus Logistics: Utilize your university club membership or affiliation to secure learning spaces/auditoriums on your campus for weekly sessions.

🌟 WHAT WE OFFER

• $1,000 Paid Honorarium: Earn a $1,000 honorarium upon successful cohort recruitment (8+ participants) and full 10-week program delivery.
• Scholarly Recognition: Mentors receive official recognition alongside student abstracts published in the peer-reviewed STEM Fellowship Journal.
• CV & Application Booster: Gain verified teaching, project management, and leadership experience that sets your resume apart for graduate school, medical school, or industry applications.
• Community Impact: Expand STEM access and serve as a role model for aspiring young researchers in your community.

🎯 QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at a Canadian university.
• Proven experience in Data Science, AI/Machine Learning, Statistics, or Scientific Research.
• Affiliated with (or willing to join/register) a STEM Fellowship club on your campus (necessary for booking university classrooms).
