What Our Community Says

"I always enjoyed math, but never knew how to apply it outside of school. Through ResearchNBuild, I collaborated with a mentor on a project utilizing statistical modeling to predict outcomes of major sports tournaments. I never imagined I could combine my love for numbers and sports!"

- Student, High School Sophomore

"My student & I worked on a project in the intersection of Biology, Sustainability, and AI. After the research, the student used the datasets to analyze and publish in a reputed high school journal. It was fun & lots of learning for both of us!"

- Mentor, Stanford University

"This program fills the gap that our school systems don't cover. Learning the depths of a subject & how to apply it, from a mentor, really engages the students. My son's interest in physics piqued when a UC Berkeley Computer Science mentor, worked with him to go in-depth into aeronautics to build a small plane!!"

- Parent of High School Freshman

"My mentor & I worked on a project on computational biology to understand how cancer genes work and applied mathematical models. After the research, I used the datasets to develop an app to predict a treatment path. It was fun & lots of learning!"

- High School Sophomore

"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 Freshman

"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

"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

"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

- Rising Freshman's parent

"My high schooler loved to learn and apply data science to analyze sports data, to eventually publish the results in a high school journal! The mentor from Stanford really helped to teach the data science methodologies and process of writing a journal paper."

- High School Sophomore's parent

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.
