ii. Research Mentorship

Original work, with a mentor who knows the field

For high school and undergraduate students who want to go beyond coursework and investigate a real question of their own.

Who it's for

Curious students ready for real research

Research is where a strong student becomes an independent thinker. Our mentors help students choose a question worth asking, learn the methods of the field, and carry the work through to a finished paper or presentation.

It suits high school students who have outgrown the curriculum in a subject they love, and undergraduates who want serious research experience before graduate school, medical school or industry.

How it works

From a question to a finished piece of work

  1. Choose a topicWe match the student's interests to a question that is original, focused and achievable.
  2. Meet the mentorA subject expert from our team guides the work, drawing on our connections with professors and active researchers.
  3. Do the researchReading the literature, designing the method, collecting and analysing data, and learning to think like a researcher.
  4. Write and shareA polished paper, with the aim of submitting to a peer-reviewed journal or presenting at a conference or science fair.
What students work toward

Goals that matter to universities

  • A paper submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, chosen for its standing rather than how easy it is to get into.
  • Presenting the work at a conference or science fair.
  • A strong letter from the mentor, written by someone who has seen the student's thinking up close.
  • Research skills that last: reading papers critically, designing experiments and writing clearly.
