How are mentors selected for the TMP program?

Mentors for the Tripoli Mentoring Program (TMP) are selected based on their experience and willingness to help. This approach ensures that mentors possess a solid understanding of rocketry principles, safety procedures, and the skills necessary to guide and educate newcomers in the field. The experience is crucial, as it allows mentors to provide practical insights and solve problems participants might encounter during their projects. Additionally, a mentor’s willingness to help fosters a supportive learning environment, encouraging mentees to ask questions and seek advice, which is essential for effective learning and growth in rocketry.
