Science Research Mentoring empowers all middle school and high school students to tackle real‐world scientific questions using the same science hands‐on methods employed by professional science researchers. We believe college-level hands on science research should be accessible to every single middle schooler and high school students.
Under the guidance of expert scientist mentors, students learn to identify a science problem, ask a research question, design experiments, analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions, all while contributing to the broader scientific community. Upon completing the program, each student designs a research poster to present at a national conference and submits their findings for potential publication in a University peer‐reviewed, citable journal, laying a strong foundation for their future career in science.
