MehtA+
When you attend a MehtA+ camp, mentorship does not end only after camp. Our staff offers college and career advice and company referrals well after the bootcamp. Post the bootcamp, you will be invited to be a part of the international MehtA+ alumni network composed of students from our previous bootcamps. Many of our alumni have attended some of the world’s best universities, including MIT, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon and University of Toronto.
MehtA+ alumni are invited for teaching and mentorship opportunities with us. These opportunities give students another chance to engage with the material that they have learned through our bootcamps and create their own curriculum under the guidance of MehtA+ instructors. We also invite our alumni to be MehtA+ teaching assistants and tutors.
