Aperçu de Research Scholars Program
The Research Scholars Program is a 12-week part-time program offered by Non-trivial, designed for high school students to lead original, impactful research. Participants work with a leading researcher from conception to completion, honing their research skills in methodology, data analysis, and academic writing. The program requires a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week and includes 1-on-1 mentorship, research skills training, independent research time, and ongoing mentor support. The program structure progresses from building research foundations to core research, synthesis, and presentation, followed by ongoing support.
