THE SCIENCE FAIR ALUMNI MENTORSHIP PROGRAM The Science Fair Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP) is a new initiative run by science fair alumni which helps students in grades 9-12 find the resources they need to investigate scientific questions of interest to them. Based on an initial project proposal, AMP matches students with two mentors: a university or industry expert and a former Canada-Wide Science Fair participant. On Monday November 24, 2008 the Third Annual Alumni Mentorship Program Orientation was hosted by the Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia. The video of this event has been generously recorded and made available for web-streaming by the Michael Smith Laboratoeies, UBC. Date Recorded: Monday, November 24th, 2008 Slides: 1.)
