The team · Summer 2026
Meet the mentors.
Each department is led by an experienced Mission San Jose mentor — a high school student who has done research or taught in the field. Here's the 2026 roster.
Full mentor bios coming soon. Want to mentor a cohort? Email ysjcteam@gmail.com.
Become a mentor.
Mentors are high school students who run their own cohort: pick the papers, run two weekly Zoom sessions, and guide a group of rising 6th–9th graders through the capstone presentation. We support you with templates, training, and a community of past mentors. Email ysjcteam@gmail.com if you'd like to apply.
