The school year is off to a great start.  To date 42  schools have signed up and have started designing their cities of the future.  Hopefully there will be a few more schools that sign up before the October 31 deadline.  After the jump is the current list of schools that need mentors:

Bayard Middle School                                                                  Wilmington, DE
Eisenhower Academy                                                                  Norristown, PA
Octorara Junior High                                                                   Atglen, PA
Pope John Paul II Regional Elementary School                      Coatesville, PA
Valley Forge Middle School                                                        Wayne, PA
St. Aloysius                                                                                     Bryn Mawr, PA

Our greatest need at this stage of the competition is for mentors.  Think of a project in your past – did it ever change for the better because someone on the team asked the right questions at just the right time?  As a mentor, you can be that person asking the questions to get the team back on the right track.  Just 1 or 2 hours a week can make a big difference in how students approach their project.
