Exploring the Frontiers of Science
An Individualized Research Program
for High School Students

The "Exploring the Frontiers of Science" program is designed to provide high school students with the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge scientific research. Through the program, students will work closely with experienced scientists, conduct their own research projects, and develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in STEM fields.

The primary objectives of the program are to:

  • Provide high school students with hands-on experience in scientific research

  • Foster an interest in STEM fields and encourage students to pursue careers in science

  • Help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills

  • Provide students with opportunities to present their research at local and regional events

  • Facilitate networking and mentorship opportunities between students and STEM professionals

Program Orientation

2 Sessions/1 Week

  1. What is scientific research?

  2. Why do research?

  3. What kind of knowledge, ability, and tools do you need to do scientific research?

  4. How to determine the direction of research?

  5. Guide students to select general scientific research projects, and connect with professional professors and teaching assistant teams. The topics are determined by students and tutors after topic discussions

Stage 1

6 Sessions/3 Weeks

In the first stage of the research program, students will participate in professional courses that are directly related to scientific research projects. These courses will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct research in their chosen field. During this stage, students will attend lectures. They will learn about the scientific method, experimental design, data analysis, and other key concepts in their field. They will also be introduced to the latest research findings and technologies in their field. At the end of the course, students will be required to submit a final course report and assessment. This report will showcase their understanding of the course material and their ability to apply it to scientific research projects.

Stage 2

20 Sessions/10 Weeks

  1. Sign up for Kaggle practical projects, confirm projects and public datasets

  2. Literature review, analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods, scientific research innovations

  3. Data analysis methods and programming training (including advanced statistics, machine learning and deep learning algorithms and programming training)

  4. Kaggle actual competition, accompanied and tutored throughout the competition

  5. Discuss the results, organize the report, submit the Preprint or the meeting summary

  6. 【Bonus】Participate in on-site or remote international seminars and give academic reports

Stage 3

30 Sessions/15 Weeks

  1. Deepen the Stage 2 project, improve the degree of innovation and project depth, and optimize the experimental results

  2. develop a dissertation outline

  3. Complete the first draft of the thesis

  4. Thesis writing tutoring, polishing, and perfecting

  5. Paper submission, revision, revision to acceptance
