Welcome to the GEARED UP: Mentor Conference, where innovation meets inspiration!
Join us on May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Kossiakoff Center, for a day filled with knowledge-sharing, networking, and empowerment.
This conference is proudly presented by Aramco America and aims to equip mentors with the tools and insights needed to effectively guide an increasingly diverse generation of students.
Bring your questions, your quirks, and your sticky problems—this session is about you. In this FTC Unconference, we’ll co-create the session agenda on the fly, based on the needs and curiosity of the room.
Never been to an unconference? It’s a flexible, participant-led format where there’s no wrong question and no passive listening. Whether you're tackling judging prep, tech constraints, student engagement, or program logistics, join fellow mentors for open dialogue, fresh insights, and unexpected connections. Facilitated by the ever-resourceful Shelly Stoddard.
