Online Research Program (High School)
High school students will join a comprehensive research project led by NC State faculty in this 4-week program. Participants will learn the fundamental research methodology, procedure and apply these knowledge and skills into the research projects, and students will also present the work they completed during the program to their peers. The faculty will meet twice a week with students online.
Students are expected to spend 5-10 hours a week on their research projects. They will receive an NC State University program certificate and an evaluation letter from the faculty upon completion of the program.
