MENTORING & SCHOLARSHIPS

Who doesn’t have a favorite teacher(s) they will never forget!

At DMPMEF, we are honored to collaborate with some of the most inspiring and skilled teachers along Colorado’s Front Range.  These talented instructors take charge of preparing their students to compete for our college scholarships, with volunteer assistance from DMPMEF mentors.

Among them are Jerry Esparza, instructor at Thomas Jefferson High School (TJ). Jerry has led TJ’s program for many years, with his students consistently taking top honors in our competition year after year.

Another program which consistently brings students with winning projects is Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (CCIC), led by Kim Reiser, until her recent relocation to another state. Beginning with our 2023 competition, an exceptional team of instructors took over the effort at CCIC. They are David Bennett, Joe Bowen, Julia Patterson and Alex Sabin.

Many thanks to the teachers!

Congrats to these amazing students!
