Behind many successful research projects is a mentor who provides encouragement, constructive feedback and valuable guidance. Mentors can help young scientists develop research questions, strengthen their investigations and improve the presentation of their findings while ensuring that learners take ownership of their work.
Our Mentors Guide to Expo Projects is available to support those assisting participants.
