Our program is crafted by PhDs from elite universities and former NASA scientists with
extensive experience in conducting and publishing cutting-edge research. Unlike generic programs, ours is specifically tailored to help highly motivated students excel by offering personalized mentorship, advanced scientific guidance, and the unique opportunity to produce and publish original research.
While the program is focused on individual mentorship, students may occasionally be invited to virtual events, workshops, or guest speaker sessions, providing them with opportunities to network with peers and professionals in STEM fields.
Usually 2 – 4 weeks but can sometimes take up to 6 weeks.
No prior research experience is required. Our program is designed to provide all students, regardless of their experience level, with the necessary tools, mentorship, and guidance to excel in STEM research.
We do offer limited financial aid and scholarships for students from economically
disadvantaged backgrounds. For more details, please inquire during the admissions process.
Yes. In fact, students are encouraged to ask their mentors to draft letters of recommendation, because mentors usually are able to write very strong letters of recommendation on behalf of students due to the close, one-on-one relationship mentors and students develop throughout
our program.
We understand that conflicts may arise. If a student needs to miss a session, we will do our best to reschedule based on the mentor’s availability. However, consistent attendance is critical to ensure progress.
Yes, our program is open to students from all countries. International students can benefit from the same mentorship and research opportunities, regardless of their location.
If your child is motivated, curious about STEM, and willing to dedicate time and effort to an in-depth research project, they are likely a good fit. Additionally, students with a passion for
learning and the ability to work independently thrive in this program.
You may reapply for the program after 3 months if you are not admitted into the program on
the first attempt.
Yes we do. Students who are a good fit may be waitlisted in our program admissions
process.
Students will engage in research across various STEM topics. The specific topic will be determined by the student and mentor, and will be heavily based on the student’s interests.
Parents receive regular updates on their child’s progress and have access to our support team to address any concerns. We encourage parent involvement to ensure that students stay on track and receive guidance both at home and through the program.
Students’ progress is assessed through regular check-ins with mentors, milestone

Yes, our program is conducted entirely online, making it accessible to students from anywhere in the world. All sessions are held via video conferencing, and resources are shared through online platforms.
Each session is tailored to the individual needs of the student. Typically, these sessions involve discussing research topics, discussing research progress, tackling challenges, reviewing drafts, and setting goals for the next stage of the project.
The mentorship is fully personalized. Each student is matched with a mentor based on their interests, and the mentor works closely with them throughout the program to develop a research project that aligns with their goals and aspirations.
In addition to the one-on-one sessions, students should expect to spend 5-10 hours per week on independent work, including reading, research, and writing assignments.
