Introduce the student to the mentor so they feel more comfortable and let the student ask their question to someone with a wealth of knowledge. I think this would achieve everyone's goal of making students feel comfortable to ask questions they may be worried are "dumb" and ensure they get the best help. You all can field the high school questions since mentors are usually farther removed from that scene.
We totally can and will do something like that. Ive been able to build up relationship with many of the top mentors In frc and I am sure many of them would be happy to help another person with a question they could better answer.
