Newton’s high school robotics team, the LigerBots, has started an online mentor/tutoring program this fall as a free resource for parents and kids. In order to offer support to elementary students during these difficult times — as well as provide teaching opportunities to high schoolers — they’ve created a program in which high school mentors are paired with elementary kids over an online platform (Zoom, Google Hangouts, Facetime, etc.). These mentors can tutor, give homework help, or just play games and do crafts with younger students.
