Mentor Buzz was developed as a conduit to Science Buzz, an award-winning website and online learning community focused on science in the news, emerging research, and seasonal science. Mentor Buzz provides the tools and resources for mentors and students to access Science Buzz and build a stronger mentoring relationship.

The goal of Mentor Buzz is to engage youth in exploration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and show their relevance in daily life or in future career opportunities.

Mentor Buzz is designed to help mentors working with youth in a variety of ways—in formal mentoring programs or informal relationships, in face-to-face or virtual connections—with flexible features and on-demand access. It can equip mentors to guide youth in the exploration of new ideas and experiences that supplement other mentoring activities.

Why should you care about science and technology? Opportunities in these fields have never been greater, but student involvement in math and science is declining. Mentors can spark interest in science and technology and provide experiences that help youth understand their crucial role in everyday life and consider them as possibilities for interesting and productive career choices in the future.
