This paper outlines a mentoring experience in which undergraduate students majoring in Computer Science spent their summer teaching robotics to high school students in Harlem. We describe two programs in which we worked with undergraduates to develop and implement robotics curriculum. Then we report on a valuable and often overlooked piece of the project --- the learning experience of the undergraduate mentors.
