Module 3: Mentors and Procedures

Actions to be completed:

- Research mentors and draft emails to three potential mentors. (Read some of their published articles) Link to Example Email. (Will Contact Students for Specific Mentors)

- Finalize procedure with materials list. 10/21

Module 3 description:

In this module you will be contacting potential mentors as a resources to support your research. Below are links to universities and research facilities where you will be able to find staff mentors that you can contact. In addition to contacting potential mentors you will develop a finalized version of your procedure. At this time you will need to consider all possible materials and equipment needed to complete your research.
