Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

We have 1 teacher, and 2 mentors that show up on an average of once every 2 weeks. The problem is, all the Columbus Public Schools teams have to share our mentors from Columbus State Community College, so they're spread a little thin.

Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

According to the last official roster

32 Students
34 Mentors/Parents


Edit:
Not all of the parents are "totally involved" so im guessing maybe 26ish adults

Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

Slightly more mentors than students.

At last count:
10 students
5 engineers
2 teachers
4 college students (including myself)

although over the course of the build season there were two more college students involved, and one or two other students....

Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

We've got 37 students and about 15 mentors. Of those 15 mentors, all but four are parents of the students on the team. We have pretty good community involvement.

Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

We have 5 students to 1 adult ratio. We have great mentors, but still not enough for the manufacturing team. We need more engineers by far! (Not to mention more money, too!)

Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

We had a pretty good mentor to student ratio: I believer our team has about 40 students, 25 that are really involved, and we had 10 mentors. This provides for about a 2.5:1 ratio. Of the 10 mentors, 3 of them were teachers, and they stepped aside, mostly doing PR; and 1 mentor was a parent. The others were engineers: 2 for programming, 1 for electrical, 3 for mechanical. Having 1 engineer helping us with our drive train team provided us with a very "fun" year.
