You may choose to work with your mentees on a math-related project. Mentees will have the opportunity to display their projects at Math Mentoring in May (M3) and may be able to share them with their math class at school. Surveys of mentees from previous years indicate that they are very interested in doing projects. The project does not have to take a lot of time. A weekend afternoon would be fine. The project can be on anything you choose. For example, it could be on an interesting concept from your job, a poster describing a field trip, or a simple computer program.
