Technical Project Mentorship

The MehtA+ Technical Project Mentorship program supports K-12 students in designing and building meaningful technical products, such as web apps, mobile apps, games, or other software-based products that they can showcase on their resumes, include in portfolios, or submit to competitions and hackathons.

Mentorship is available in both one‑on‑one and small‑group formats, with flexible 10‑hour and 15‑hour packages. Families are billed for both live online meetings and offline mentor time, which may include reviewing code, troubleshooting issues, and other forms of offline support. Online sessions may be 30 minutes or 1 hour, depending on what best supports the student’s pace and goals. Our mentors include advanced undergraduate students, master’s and PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, recent graduates, and industry professionals.

Each project begins with a collaborative planning phase where the mentor and student outline a timeline, milestones, and expected deliverables. Throughout the program, learners receive guidance across the full product‑development cycle, which may include:

• brainstorming and scoping a project idea
• user research and feature planning
• designing mockups
• learning relevant programming tools and frameworks
• building and iterating on a prototype
• debugging, testing, and refining functionality
• preparing documentation, demo video or a portfolio‑ready presentation

Rather than starting from a fixed list of topics, project ideas grow out of early conversations between the mentor and student, shaped by the learner’s curiosity and the mentor’s expertise. This approach keeps every project authentic, personal, and genuinely student‑driven.

The MehtA+ Technical Project Mentorship program empowers students to think deeply, create boldly, and take ownership of their work, supported every step of the way by a mentor who believes in their potential. Fill in our interest form today.
