The STEAM Mentorship Academy is a structured program spanning 16 weeks, specifically tailored for high school students in grades 11 and 12. Its primary objective is to provide an opportunity for these students to accumulate volunteer hours and actively engage in community service. The program operates under the guidance and assistance of Steam Coaches, who are dedicated UTM student volunteers. During their participation in the STEAM Mentorship Academy, students acquire valuable project management and facilitation skills. Additionally, they have the opportunity to develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) design models and workshops. These creations are subsequently be presented and shared at a large-scale STEAM Day event, organized in collaboration with an external community partner.
