Impressions of mentees and mentors
Isabella K. – Mentee
‘I can say without exaggeration that my life would be different without CyberMentor. I would have missed out on most science or technology competitions and events, ...
I wouldn't have known anything if I hadn't taken part in the BWInf programme over the last few years, and I often wouldn't have had the confidence to deal with topics such as microchips. I would also never have found a group of girls to take part in BWInf with, I would never have got to know my mentor, who really took a lot of time to talk to me, encourage me and explain everything I wanted to know and, above all, I would never have been so encouraged in my scientific interests. Having a female physicist in my life who encourages you to try things out and believes in you has been extremely good for me personally.’
Kathrin H. – Mentor
‘I heard about CyberMentor through my employer's CSR programme and found it an exciting experience to give young girls an insight into working life ...
and help them to awaken and encourage their interest in computer science. I chat to my mentee and we've also had video chats. I was very impressed at the start of the mentoring year when I saw that my mentee had programmed a game, which she also showed me the making of. I am amazed at how far my mentee has come despite her young age and how much motivation she brings to the table. For me, CyberMentor is also a great opportunity to make new contacts and regain an insight into STEM fields that have tended to be forgotten in recent years.’
Oda H. – Mentee
‘It was a lucky day for me when my physics teacher handed me a registration form for CyberMentor and asked if I was interested. ...
- Of course I did - and since then I have learnt to fully appreciate and love CyberMentor. What's more, it has become such an integral part of my everyday life that I can't even imagine what it would be like if CyberMentor didn't exist. Stopping by CyberMentor is already part of my daily routine. For me, CyberMentor is like an additional (favourite) elective subject with a very motivated and extremely competent mentor as a role model and friend. The friendly exchange of ideas with other mentees and the constant helpfulness of all mentors is just as impressive to me as the omnipresent great support from the CyberTeam.’
Sophia v. B. – Mentor
‘As someone who took part in CyberMentor as a student myself, I know how much female students can benefit from mentoring. It's extremely important as a student to have a role model who ...
has achieved something you want for yourself. It teaches you that anything is possible in this world as long as you want it from the bottom of your heart. This keeps dreams alive that would otherwise fade into the background or disappear completely during puberty and adolescence. Through CyberMentor, you can give young girls something that you yourself might have needed in the past or give something back that helped you in the past. As a mentor, CyberMentor is a great asset. The views and thoughts of girls can be very inspiring and it's a great experience to empower and support girls with interests in STEM.’
