WORKSHOPS

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

SLB members are eager to share their enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge with you in a series of interactive step-by-step workshops designed to help you produce a successful STEM project.

Workshop topics focus on how to participate in the GSDSEF as well as the entire science fair process and the scientific method/engineering principles from start to finish - from coming up with a project idea, to putting together your science notebook, to designing your poster board, and to finally preparing you for judging. 

Experienced SLB members are also available to work with you on an individual basis - to answer your specific questions based on your own project.

For 2023-2024, SLB will be hosting most workshops via Zoom. Workshop information will be sent to your teachers. Zoom links to each workshop will be sent to those who RSVP.

Exciting news for you all! The GSDSEF SLB presents the annual Mentorship Program designed to pair GSDSEF participants with seasoned mentors to help you improve and succeed with your project.

You will receive individualized attention with an experienced GSDSEF mentor who will not only assist you with the science/engineering in your project, but guide you through the 2023 GSDSEF participation process as well.

Meetings will be approximately 30-45 minutes/week (or as needed) and conducted via Zoom.

Mentors will guide you on how to:

• Create an impactful methodology
• Gather reliable results
• Analyze complex data
• Organize information into presentable formats
• Prepare a cohesive presentation for Judges
• Submit important GSDSEF forms
• Extend the impact of your project
• And much, much more!!

In order to best support students, GSDSEF SLB pairs mentees and mentors based on their project categories and interests.

NOTE: We highly recommend students have a general understanding of what they want their project to be before signing up.
