Lead mentoring

The lead mentor role is a lot of work and in most cases, it's better to split it among several mentors provided their philosophies are compatible. The responsibilities include:

• Training and mentoring the student leaders, especially the captain(s), project manager(s), and subteam leads

• Engaging with faculty and administration

• Engaging with parents

• Purchasing/managing costs

• Recruiting mentors

• Keeping the mentor contingent happy and productive
