Call for Mentors for the Girls in Mathematical Sciences Program

[Eli]

Dear All,

The Girls in Mathematical Sciences Program (GMSP) by AIMS Ghana is an exciting nine month program for secondary school girls in Ghana to nurture their talents in the mathematical sciences. The mode of delivery is hybrid with monthly online masterclasses by scientists on their research areas and recent open problems. When students are on vacation from school, they are hosted at the AIMS Ghana campus for residential sessions involving minicourses in different areas of mathematics including mathematical problem solving, industrial visits and fireside chats with outstanding women in STEM on their career journeys. More details here

Each student is assigned a mentor at the beginning of the program to offer career guidance. Students usually would like to pursue STEM courses at the universities so mentors meet their mentees online at least once every quarter for mentoring sessions.

You can apply to be a mentor if you are a woman in STEM with at least a Bachelor's degree in a STEM field, working in industry or academia.

Mentoring sessions will formally begin shortly. There will be a meeting with mentors to discuss further details on the program before the mentoring pairing and sessions begin.

Kindly fill the form below if you are interested in volunteering as a mentor:
