Vision of the Program
Provide high quality and unparalleled experience to high schoolers interested in exploring or pursuing careers in STEM. Our mentors focus in on the journey of learning.
This is a program designed for High School Students (Gr 9-12). Students will work in small groups (2-5) with individual mentors. Mentors values innovative thinking and will help the student navigate and shape up the project followed by specific guidance towards project execution. Students will present the final project online at a STEMPeers virtual event. The students also have the freedom to present their work in any relevant conference of their choice or publish in a journal.
Program runs virtually in Summer - Fall for 2-3 months with 1 hr weekly meetings with the mentor. Successful project requires an extra 2-3 hrs per week of offline work (depending on the project).
Program is offered FREE of cost but donations to STEMPeers is strongly encouraged.
Highlights of the past projects
In a structured two month period, students were engaged in learning the process of doing scientific literature search, scientific writing and then faced a stringent peer-review process in order to publish the stories about the lives of their favorite scientists.
Students were involved in doing market research on the causes for food spoilage in USA. Students learnt entrepreneurial ideas start with identifying the problems & the cause of the problems. Students presented the finding in a virtual STEMPeers meet.
Students worked with the mentor on understanding market and landscape analyses of pharmaceutical companies in the anti-obesity space. Students delved into the biology behind these diseases and the mechanism of action of the drugs amd ;earnt how investors assess the financial market and make decisions.
