Mentoring Female Undergraduates in Research-Centered Outreach
Violeta Vasilevska; Carolyn Hamilton
PRIMUS, v34 n5 p521-539 2024
Math Girls Rock! is a year-long, two-tiered mathematics mentoring program that prepares female undergraduate mentors to facilitate high school girls' engagement in challenging mathematics concepts through a dynamic after-school program. In this article, we describe the distinct educational component of this program in which female faculty members mentor female undergraduate mathematics and mathematics education students in researching and developing the content to be presented at the high schools. In addition, we discuss some of the feedback collected from program participants about various aspects of this program relating to the involvement of the undergraduate students. In conclusion, we share advice for those interested in starting and running similar outreach programs.
