Our research program is extremely rigorous and goes well beyond the typical high school curriculum, covering topics such as  machine learning, deep learning, calculus, linear algebra, statistics, probability, and econometrics. These topics are quite advanced for high school students and we will teach and train our students to be build a foundation in these technical methods to conduct the research.

As of this date, we have not had a single student who has not received placement in a science research journal and/or science fair competition. The reason is the level of rigor of our research program far exceeds the rigor of the research papers getting published and can certainly compete with many of the top projects in a science research competition, going well beyond the typical high school curriculum.  However, placement is not guaranteed and past results may not be indicative of future performance. 

Our program lasts for 12 weeks and the student will work individually with our Research Scientist to brainstorm and come up with a topic, formulate a hypothesis and problem statement, learn advanced math, statistics, and computer science to build the tools to conduct cutting edge research, approach the problem with a rigorous methodology, and discuss the results and conclusion in a capstone research paper. This research paper will then be used to submit to different science fair competitions and research journals.

Our research scientist will work together with the student to formulate a topic depending on the student’s area of academic passion and interest. The process is also exploratory (and not necessarily black and white) and we will guide the student through how to come up with an interesting research topic that will perform well in competitions.

Our research program is entirely 1-on-1. The benefit of this approach is that the student will own the research, which can be used to submit to science research competitions and published in research journals. When the research is done in a group setting like other summer programs where they have multiple students on a single project, you will not be able to use the research to compete in science competitions since there can only be one (or maximum 2) entrants per research project.

Our research program is specifically geared toward helping students compete in the Intel Science and Engineering Fair, Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, and the Regeneron Science Talent Search, which are some of the most prestigious science research programs in the country. Our research program is orders of magnitude more rigorous than other summer programs and research programs out there. Our students apply advanced computational methods to tackle a specific problem domain, which provides the students the best odds of getting regional or national recognition in a science research competition or publication in a research journal.
