When answering this question, it is important to showcase your ability to mentor and support students in computer science competitions or events. Here is a possible answer:


"Yes, I have had several opportunities to mentor and support students in computer science competitions and events. In my previous role as a computer science teacher at XYZ school, I organized and coached a team of students for the National Computer Science Competition. I provided guidance to the students in selecting the appropriate programming languages, developing algorithms, and troubleshooting issues during the competition.


I also encouraged and motivated the students to participate in local hackathons and coding events, such as the annual Women in Computing hackathon. I supported them by sharing resources, providing feedback on their project ideas, and helping them with their presentations.


Moreover, I have volunteered as a judge for several regional and national computer science competitions. This has given me insight into what judges are looking for, and I have used that knowledge to help students prepare for such events. I have also worked with students who were struggling with specific concepts or technologies and helped them build their confidence and skills.


Overall, I am passionate about mentoring and supporting students in computer science competitions and events. It is a great way to inspire and motivate them to pursue a career in computer science and contribute to the development of technology."
