We offer the following services for high school students
1. Lecture series and research project
Participate in a short course of interesting lectures on a science subject at an introductory level in a small group.
- Taught by a experienced Cambridge researchers and mentors. The lecturers have ample research experience in the taught topics. For this reason, they can provide modern insights about some of the most interesting open problems in science.
- Research project and paper. The program includes mentorship in a research project on a topic chosen by the student (with the mentor guidance) that relates to the taught material. This can be very helpful to acquire elementary research skills and experience. A paper (or draft paper) can be obtained by the end of the program that the student can submit to a good high school journal.
- Helpful for University applications. The participation in the program and the research experience can be helpful to support the student's applications to University. A reference letter to support the student's applications with input on their participation in the program can be provided upon reasonable request.
- Delivered online in a small group. Participation in the program is online and can be from anywhere in the world. The lectures will be provided in a small group of five or less students. This allows for efficient student participation and guiding by the mentor.
- Introductory level. Emphasis is given on the main scientific ideas circumventing the mathematical difficulties of some subjects. In this way, the course is suitable to high school students with a curious mind.
- Major and modern open problems. Big open problems in science are highlighted. Modern research approaches to these problems are discussed.
- Interesting content. The lectures are designed to highlight some of the most interesting concepts and problems in science. Examples of possible subjects are:
- Evolution
- Genetics
- Quantum physics
- Artificial intelligence
2. One-to-one mentorship in a research project
Take a research project in a science subject led online by an experienced researcher and mentor.
- Led by an experienced Cambridge researcher and mentor. The mentors have ample research experience in the taught topics. For this reason, they can provide modern insights about some of the most interesting open problems in science.
- Research project and paper. The program includes mentorship in a research project on a topic chosen by the student, with guidance by the mentor. The research project will be chosen wisely with the mentor's guidance to suit the student's aptitudes. This can be very helpful to acquire elementary research skills and experience. A paper (or draft paper) can be obtained by the end of the program that the student can submit to a good high school journal.
- Helpful for University applications. The participation in the program and the research experience can be helpful to support the student's applications to University.
