✍🏻Mentors Tasks & Responsibilities
As a mentor in our program, you'll play a crucial role in facilitating flipped learning classrooms!
What is a flipped classroom?
You may have encountered the traditional classroom before, where we go to class to listen to teacher’s explanation, then after class, we’ll complete the homework given by our teacher.
The flipped classroom, as the name suggest, “flip” this method. Students are introduced to key concepts before class started and refine the learning in the form of active learning process in the classroom.
Your role is to then guide them through engaging activities and discussions during classroom sessions.
Here's a breakdown of your key responsibilities as a flipped classroom facilitator:

🗓️ Run of Event & Operations
Starting from day 0, where we’ll get to know each other and share the final project to the rookies. We’ll tackle each day to introduce the rookies to STEM and inspire them!
One lesson a day keeps the confusion away! Day one, we'll dive into lesson one; day two, we're on to lesson two, and so on. 🗓️
