Through a series of group and one-on-one virtual lessons, Headwaters scientists will mentor you through designing and conducting your very own scientific research project. Over the course of 10 weeks, you will ask an original research question, design a project to test that question, analyze your data, create a scientific presentation on your research project, and submit a manuscript to a youth-specific scientific journal to be considered for publication.

Weekly group sessions: Students will meet digitally once per week as a group on Mondays from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (PST).

Individual mentor meetings: Weekly times and dates to be determined with your specific mentor.
