Re: Mentors on drive team
I in no way think that student coaches are necessarily better then adult mentors as far as performance goes, but I do believe it should be a student on the drive team and here's why.
"Mission
Our mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership." (emphasis mine)
Not to say anything against mentors but this program is truly for the students. Being on the field is an incredible experience and students should be the only ones down there.
