</font><font face="Arial"><i>"The Lemelson-MIT Awards Program is
looking for MIT students to mentor student teams during our High
School Design Challenge: The Windy 500 to be held on Friday, May 4 at
the Museum of Science! This will be one key event during our multi-day
EurekaFest celebration that we are hosting with the MOS. MIT student
volunteers should have building experience plus an interest in or
experience as a student mentoring. We'll need MIT students to help us
out from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. plus participate in a couple of hours of
mentor training on April 27th from 5-7 pm at the Museum of Science
(we'll provide transportation from campus and food!).<br>
<br>
The Windy 500 will include over 100 Boston-area high school students
and teachers collaborating with experienced inventors to design,
build, test, and race wind-powered carts during the daylong design
challenge. High school students will hear directly from Lemelson-MIT
Award winners about their inventive careers, and mingle with them over
lunch. MIT student mentors, too, will enjoy lunch with the high school
students and the inventors. The day concludes with a final team
competition and prizes.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in volunteering as a mentor for the Windy 500,
please respond with a brief paragraph about your background and
previous building experience.<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions (<font

<br>
I look forward to hearing from you!<br>
