Rachael Browning | Preston Middle School | Fort Collins | |
| Special Mentor Requests:I will have about 12 gifted and talented students in need of separate mentors, as they will all have their own "passion project" specific to a personal area of interest to cultivate over the semester. My students have the following interests: 1. Art (two students interested in mixed media/interest also in exhibiting her art) 2. Art/Writing Portfolio 3. Writing a fiction novel (interested in publishing it) 4. Writing (interested in writing a historical fiction, publishing, google-sketchup to design military parts as part of his book) 5. Science (this student is interested in earthquake mitigation; experimenting with magnets...the student will also be exploring an additional passion of music using garagband or other music-mixing software). 6. Mountain biking/biking technology (this student is interested in innovating a clip petal, which may include patenting, as well as using solidworks and a 3d printer to create a prototype) 7. Math Professor (this student is interested in travel, writing, teaching and math) 8. Sports(two students interested in math statistics and creating football mock-drafts, and he is also curious about other aspects of sports, such as scouting and announcing). 9. Photography (interested in exhibiting, and has a strong desire to help others) 10. Baseball (interested in scouting/coaching/broadcasting, but mostly playing professionally) I have an amazing, motivated group of students, but they are all varied in terms of what they desire to investigate over the semester with a mentor. I would humbly ask that the mentors matched with each student have an understanding or personal experience in the students' area of interest in order to provide appropriate support. In terms of scheduling, I have interwoven lessons, guest speakers and field trips throughout the class as well. It is not until March that I have planned that the class will spend the whole class time really delving deep to work on projects, however, this time line is flexible. I would, ideally, love to have the students begin to share conversations with their mentors as early as possible to assist the idea generation phase. | ||||||

Alana Fournet and Tracey Winey | Little Children of the Philippines (NGO) | Dumaguete City | |
| Special Mentor Requests:January 30th Update: We now have all of the mentors we need for the students in the Philippines. However, we need an additional 16 mentors for students in Colorado who will be supporting and collaborating with the Philippine students. This is the first time youth from Little Children of the Philippines (an NGO in Dumaguete City) will participate in extensive research into the problem of deforestation and make a difference through tree planting and other tasks. We are are looking for mentors who can speak the language and help students research a topic, put form around an idea, make a difference through a tangible community project, share their work with an authentic audience, and celebrate at the end of the project. If you can commit to posting a minimum of one message a week and submitting a project survey, we want you! | ||||||

Nick Moore Grade: 9 Benton High School Bossier City, Louisiana, USA |

| Special Mentor Requests:These students are part of a gifted education program in Bossier Parish Louisiana. All of the students are freshman high school students who are just beginning to think seriously about college and career options. Most of the students do not have opportunities to connect with professionals in the career fields that interest them. Your participation as a mentor can play a major role in helping these young people successfully navigate the path to a rewarding college experience and a satisfying career. | ||||||||||
