This immersive research program allows students to go beyond classroom learning by collaborating with university professors on advanced, interdisciplinary topics. Students meet weekly with faculty mentors, participate in academic seminars, and explore real-world problems through structured research processes.

Each student completes a full research cycle — including project design, literature review, data analysis, and research paper writing — under the close guidance of experts in fields such as AI, public health, biology, business, and neuroscience.

In-person sessions are held on university campuses and include lab access, campus exploration, and live academic discussions. Students also receive coaching in presenting their research and have the chance to submit their work for publication or competitions.

This program is ideal for students in Grades 10–12 who are passionate about inquiry, problem-solving, and building a distinctive academic profile for competitive college admissions.
