The movie Thor: Dark World is sponsoring a really KOOL project to encourage young ladies toward the fields of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).  Thor’s human love interest is Doctor Jane Foster.  The character of Jane Foster is an astrophysicist so this partnership does make sense.

The Ultimate Mentor Adventure is a method to connect girls in Grade 9th through 12th with women in the fields of STEM in their city.  They will interview, interact, and join in experiences with their mentors. The young ladies will shoot a short video about their experience.  Some of these videos will be selected and those girls will be flown to Los Angeles for the Ultimate experience.  Check out the below information and view about this.  Encourage any young lady to check out this opportunity.

It is too bad my daughter is only in 7th grade.  She would love this experience and opportunity.

MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD – ULTIMATE MENTOR ADVENTURE aims to empower girls ages 14 and up in grades 9-12 to embark on a journey that will allow them to explore their potential in the world of STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Through the collaborative efforts of MARVEL, the National Academy of Sciences, and Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., girls will have a chance to go out into the real world and ask successful women in STEM fields about what they do, how they got where they are…and how others can follow in their footsteps.

MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD – ULTIMATE MENTOR ADVENTURE is looking nationwide for girls – just like you – ages 14 and up in grades 9-12 to apply to be a part of this incredible journey. Finalists from the applicant pool of MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD – ULTIMATE MENTOR ADVENTURE will be selected for the opportunity to meet some of the most incredible women in science, all while conducting interviews, participating in experiments and interactive events, and getting the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes where the general public is not normally invited – all while having this adventure filmed.

On FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 2013, finalists will conclude their journey and will be recognized at the Premiere Screening of their MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD ULTIMATE MENTOR ADVENTURE documentary short. This video short will be shown at the historic El Capitan Theatre prior to the screening of MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD on the film’s opening day. (Ultimate Mentor Adventure)
