TJ Inspire is a mentoring program for elementary school students interested in the STEM fields. BSU members will start meetings by explaining the scientific topic or idea of the day, and then they encourage the kids to ask questions and discuss the concept so they really understand it. Then, a group activity is preformed to show the science is real life (i.e making baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, decorating cakes with treats that represent the parts of a human cell, and building air pressure rockets.) It is an awesome experience for both the mentors and the kids. The program usually runs for about four months out of the school year, and at the end all kids are invited to perform with BSU during. It is completely optional, but it is a great chance for the mentorees to see that nerds have fun both inside and outside the classroom. Finally, there is always at least one meeting dedicated to answering questions regarding TJ and the experiences of BSU members.
