The mentor teacher's role in Imagine Cup is as an advisor, a counselor, and an "official brainstorming guide." Your job is to help students collaborate efficiently as a team. You can discuss technical issues with students and refer them to valuable resources.

Here are some ways a mentor teacher can help …

  • Answer students' questions
  • Discuss issues that arise
  • Remind students of upcoming deadlines
  • Be a good listener
