PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Bryant P. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Bryant is a pursuing a major in Computer Science at Stanford University with a focus in Natural Language Processing. He attended the only residential STEM school in Mississippi, participating in football, track & field, science bowl, and (most importantly) robotics. His aforementioned love for robotics has led him to qualify for the VEX Robotics World Championship. He also enjoyed tinkering with Unity and producing passable games. At Stanford, Bryant enjoys singing in an all-original comedy A Capella group, Fleet Street. He also is a TA for Stanford's introductory computer science courses CS106A and CS106B. Aside from computer languages, Bryant is interested in learning languages across globe, currently learning German, Hindi, and Spanish. Upon completion of his academic endeavors, Bryant plans to make meaningful contributions to his home state of Mississippi and increase support for STEM for schools in under-resourced areas. Until then he will continue learning and find more ways to stay engaged with his community.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
