​What they do

DCC Mentors are a group of student mentors from the University of Maryland's Digital Cultures and Creativity Honors Program, which focuses on how humans interact with technology. The mentors conduct workshops with high school students once a month wherein they take topics such as crowdsourcing and robotics and teach information about the subject in a discussion-based lesson. Afterwards, the students engage in a hands-on activity based on the material.
