Abstract
This panel presents learnings from 1-1 mentoring of middle school girls, done as part of the pilot for the MAGIC (http://www.getmagic.org) program. The goal of MAGIC is to expose the power of STEM to middle and high school girls through 1-1 mentoring, thereby encouraging them to pursue careers in STEM. Perspectives of both mentors and mentees will be presented, and program organizers will discuss key learnings from the pilot.
