2020-2021 TEAM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
MetroWest Youth Connect Local Environmental Issues
to Global Challenges
Students from Framingham, Marlborough, and Milford High Schools in the See Yourself in STEM - Team Mentorship Program, offered through a collaboration between the McAuliffe Center and the MetroWest STEM Education Network, produced short videos to share their ideas for positive environmental change and action. The videos were submitted to the Teens Dream Changemaker Challenge, a global competition sponsored by the Global Co Lab Network, and in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution.
The McAuliffe Center mentored six teams of teens who made it to the final round of judging in the competition. Because of the number of outstanding proposals submitted by the students, the McAuliffe Center was awarded the competition's first-ever Mentor Award.
