About the challenge

General

Research has become a crucial skill for middle/high schoolers, that is expected by a lot of competitive colleges. However, most research programs are very selective or very expensive. Research for All wanted to change that and offer quality guidance to middle/high schoolers for their research projects for free.  Each program is flexible and designed to work with the student to not only complete their research project, but guide them from task to task. If they do have any questions they can post them in the group discussion or discuss them with a mentor at the weekly drop-in.  Research for All tries to build lifelong skills that can be beneficial for our scholar's future without any expensive fee.

Our experienced mentors are multifaceted students who’ve taken it upon themselves to help other students, because they understand the struggles and can offer the guidance that these students need, without any judgment.
