The best way to truly understand something is to teach it. Mentoring with CurioLab is a hands-on leadership experience where you guide students through problem-solving, debugging, and design thinking while sharpening your own technical foundation.
Mentoring with CurioLab is an opportunity to turn your technical skills into real impact while sharpening them in the process. You’ll help middle and high school students build confidence in engineering by guiding them through hands-on projects—watching them go from “I don’t know where to start” to independently solving problems they once thought were out of reach.
As a mentor, you grow alongside your students. Sharpen your technical understanding, strengthen how you communicate complex ideas, and deepen your approach to design, debugging, and problem-solving, skills that directly translate to internships and engineering teams.
Help expand access to engineering for middle and high school students, especially those who haven’t had these opportunities before, and play a role in shaping the next generation of technologists, leaders, and mentors.
CurioLab also invests in you. Get structured training, weekly materials, and ongoing support from the team, so you’re never unprepared. Share ideas, troubleshoots challenges together, and builds leadership skills in a low-pressure, high-impact environment.
Mentors coach 1–2 students through a semester-long engineering journey, helping them troubleshoot, iterate, and communicate their work.
This role is especially for college students. Prior experience is helpful, but not required as we provide training and resources for all.
Real growth happens when you explain, troubleshoot, and iterate with someone else.
“Mentoring pushed me to explain ideas clearly and troubleshoot in real time. I became more confident as an engineer and communicator.”
“Watching students go from stuck to confident was the most rewarding part. You learn just as much as they do.”
“The training + structure made it easy to jump in. I loved seeing students’ ideas turn into something real by Demo Day.”
Applications are open now for Spring 2026. If you want to teach, lead, and learn alongside a community that supports you, apply below!
