About this Opportunity
Every year, thousands of students participate in Soham Academy’s Robotics in Academics Program, creating working models, innovative solutions, and technology-based projects that address real-world challenges.
Many of these students are presenting their ideas for the very first time. A few words of thoughtful feedback from an experienced volunteer can help them think deeper, improve their projects, and gain confidence in their abilities.
