Ok CD, I'm a young guy who has had the fortune of getting to work with some simply phenomenal people during my time in FRC. And now I'm trying to be half the mentor they all were for me.

I've sort of characterized mentoring into 3 major types:

Doing - Actually do the work. Design the solution, make the part, do the code and then explain it later.

Show - Walk the student through the solution to the problem. Basically stand over them as they design and suggest (obviously) that a particular solution might work better or that the current solution won't work.

Asking - Asking loaded questions intended to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Rarely give an answer but encourage the students to explore and find the answer for themselves.

I'm currently struggling with mentoring an FTC team because I don't know when to do, when to show, and when to ask. Really, it is something I've always struggled with and would like some guidance on what others do.
