What Our Community Says

"I always enjoyed math but never knew how to apply it outside of school. Through ResearchNBuild, I worked with a mentor on a project using mathematical modeling to predict stock market trends. I never imagined I could combine my love for numbers with real-world finance!"

- High School Junior

"I came into the program with basic coding knowledge, but my mentor helped me take it to the next level. We built a chatbot using natural language processing, and I learned so much about AI and Python."

- High School Sophomore

"As a college mentor, guiding a student through a research paper on statistical modeling was inspiring. ResearchNBuild provides the perfect structure to help students bridge the gap between theoretical math and real-world applications."

- Data Science, Stanford

"ResearchNBuild matched me with an incredible mentor who guided me through my first machine learning project. I went from having just an interest in AI to actually building a model that analyzes medical images! The mentorship not only gave me technical skills but also boosted my confidence in pursuing research."

- High School Junior

"Working with my student on literary analysis was an amazing experience. They explored gender roles in Shakespearean plays, and I watched their critical thinking skills flourish. ResearchNBuild makes research in the humanities just as exciting as in STEM!"

- English, UC Berkeley

"Before joining ResearchNBuild, I didn't know where to start with research in neuroscience. My mentor helped me guiding through the research in meningioma, and in the process I learned how to do a thorough data informed research study, which is important for research publications."

- High School Senior

"Mentoring through ResearchNBuild has been one of the most rewarding experiences. My student was eager to explore how to build a digital app, and we worked on prototypes to coding for an app. Seeing their excitement and growth in critical thinking was incredible!"

- Computer Science, UMD, Meta intern

"Through ResearchNBuild, I got connected with a mentor who helped me research market trends for sustainable fashion. Now, I'm working on my own business model! This experience has truly transformed how I see business and innovation."

- High School Junior

"My student came in with a strong interest in Cognitive Science, but didn't know how to conduct research. We developed a study on cognitive biases, and seeing them analyze real data was incredibly rewarding."

- Cognitive Science, UC Berkeley

Our Mission

We aim to inspire & train the next generation of learners in high schools, by connecting them with mentors in universities, who guide them with projects in STEM & other subjects, thus helping to develop interest, critical thinking & readiness beyond high school.
