F4 - Connect (The new way to get help)

[nerdrock101]

It may benefit you to pivot direction and focus on the connect part of your idea. You're onto something with the idea that students may be apprehensive about posting here. Why not have a rolodex of mentors you trust to answer patiently and kindly and have close partnerships with to forward technical questions to? 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.
