Project Timeline

Deviations from the Timeline

The fourth session was originally scheduled for Mar. 8. However, due to the transport strike, the Quexon City government announced that schools will only be having asynchronous classes. As such, the session was rescheduled to Mar. 15
Due to a misunderstanding regarding their schedule, the Grade 5 students were not able to do the first week of the program. The Mentorship Program Orientation was postponed to the second week while Mock Interviews and STEM Stations were cut from their program.

Mentorship Program Orientation

The mentors introduced themselves to the students and oriented them on the details of the mentorship program (e.g. timeline, topics to be discussed). In addition, they were given the general house rules that they need to follow in order to make this program go according to plan.

Mock Interviews

Some mentors presented a roleplay of a mock interview to provide the mentees a glimpse of the do’s and don’ts of interviews. Some mentees volunteered to face a challenge of having a conversation with a mentor for a minute straight without explicitly saying yes, no, or any variant of those two.

STEM Stations

The STEM Stations activity was conducted for the mentees to gain an understanding of the different fields of science in an out-of-classroom experience. Mentors who specialized in each specific subfield discussed what the field is about and its future career prospects.

Entrance Exams

In order to gauge their test-taking skills and aptitude, mentees answered the entrance exam pre-test consisting of Science, Math, English, and Abstract Reasoning questions. Mentors then discussed the pre-test answers and imparted tips on answering certain subjects and remembering specific topics. The post-test was then given to the mentees to re-gauge their test-taking ability.

Essays

Mentors taught the mentees different ways to brainstorm ideas for essays and guided them on wording their ideas through the use of recurring themes. After the essay ideation and writing activities, the mentors then checked the mentees' work, shared their general comments on the essays, and passed on tips to help them improve their future essays.

Live Experiment

The concept of catalysts was introduced to mentees through a live demonstration of the Elephant Toothpaste experiment done with household materials like warm water, dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide, and yeast. Mentees also got to experience doing the experiment on their own, aided by the mentors.

Closing Program

To formally end the mentorship program, the closing ceremony was held. Mentees enjoyed participating in games such as Pinoy Henyo and Charades. All mentees were awarded certificates of participation. Special certificates such as Best Essay and Most Improved were also given out.

Evaluation

At the end of each session, mentees were given evaluation forms to rate the session. On the last session, an overall program evaluation form was given to the mentees where they can share their experience in the mentorship program and share their messages to the mentors.
