Become a Technical Mentor
Interested in helping StellarXplorers? Become a Technical Mentor! StellarXplorers teams are typically led by teachers, but not all teachers feel equipped to prepare their students for the competition. Because of this, many teams rely on technical mentors to help them prepare. If you have a strong understanding of determining orbits, selecting satellite components, and/or choosing the optimal launch vehicle for a mission—a StellarXplorers technical mentorship might be for you!
The time commitment is up to the mentor, and the schedule can be agreed upon with the team director. Mentorship can be conducted virtually or in person. Learn more about becoming a technical mentor.
