Mentoring is a great way to become involved in the Physics Factory. You will sharpen your science skills while also helping young students understand the world they live in.

Becoming a mentor requires no previous training in science or education--our only prerequisite is an enthusiasm to learn.

Our instructors work side-by-side with mentors to help them develop their science and training skills. Our mentors learn to guide students through hands-on learning activities. They also assist with the live Physics Bus traveling science shows, both behind the scenes and as presenters.

If you are considering a career in science or education, the Physics Factory is a great addition to your résumé. You may also be able to earn college credit for your efforts!

Please email us for more information on how you can become a Physics Factory mentor!

Success Stories from Atzlan Academy Mentoring Program

Comments from Our Mentors:

"The Physics Factory gives mentors a chance to watch the experimental process. What are they trying, how are they thinking about solving this problem? These ideas are crucial to the critical thinking skills involved in any situation."
- Rob Lee Jr., former Physics Factory mentor, Adjunct Faculty at Pima College

"This has been an excellent learning experience for both me and the student I mentored. I was able to strengthen my understanding of the topics of electromagnetic physics and at the same time I was able to help a student learn these topics as well."
- Dominic Quihuis, student mentor

"Mentoring at the Physics Factory was a wonderful experience for me. My student
and I learned things together and got to put both of our creativity into the
projects. We were as a team rather than mentor and student and thats what I
loved about it.
"
- Anna Martin, student mentor
