How it works<\/b><\/p>\n
In order to provide contestants in the Pioneers and Explorers categories the best possible support and guidance, the Odysseus II Contest organizers will create and mobilize a network of volunteer mentors. Contestants could ask for support from mentors in this network, but if any of the participants wish to work with a mentor that is not on the list, they are also allowed to find their own mentors outside the network provided by the organizers. \u00a0Mentors can act as advisors for as many submissions as they are asked to support.<\/p>\n
What can a mentor offer? <\/b><\/p>\n
Mentors should provide support to contestants by giving technical and scientific advice. Mentors may define the framing of a suitable project or problem for the contestants to investigate. They should not create any of the project content that is submitted to the contest for evaluation.<\/p>\n
Who are the mentors? <\/b><\/p>\n
Mentors are people with special science and space-related expertise and knowledge (e.g. teachers, researchers, professors, technicians) and usually work, or have worked in space industry, or as researchers, teachers or science popularizer. Mentors included in the network will be professionals validated by the Odysseus contest organizers.<\/p>\n
