The STEM Research Accelerator is an intensive bootcamp designed to introduce students from grades 8 to 12 to the fundamentals of research. It blends the academic heritage of Ivy Learning Lab standards with innovative global research approaches, covering various methodologies, the significance of data, and the application of Artificial Intelligence in research.

Participants will acquire a detailed understanding of the research process, hands-on experience in every step of research, knowledge of academic research publication, critical thinking, public speaking, and presentation skills.

There are no specific prerequisites; however, a keen interest in research and a commitment to the bootcamp are essential.

All participants who attend the BootCamp will receive the following:

  1. Certificate of Participation from Ivy League and Big Red Education, signed by the Mentor.
  2. Opportunity to get an LOR from the Mentor.
The final deliverable is a guaranteed peer-reviewed and instructor-critiqued research product. Top research products may also receive a Letter of Recommendation from the mentors.
The bootcamp will be conducted online.
Unfortunately, we will be unable to share the recordings of the lectures, therefore we request all participants to attend all sessions.
Expect the bootcamp to be highly interactive and engaging. There are many group discussions, activities and competition. All the skill learning session & activities will keep the pace rapid so boredom won’t set in. We ensure a two-way interaction by providing enough time for questions, comments, and discussion. Breaks will be scheduled frequently so you can stretch, walk, talk, and grab a bite.
Please call us at +91-931-0450-013 or email us at info@bigrededucation.com for further information.
If you request to cancel 30 days before the bootcamp’s start date, a full refund will be issued. If you request to cancel 15 days before the bootcamp’s start date, you will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be granted for cancellations requested within 15 days of the bootcamp’s start date. All refunds will be processed within 2 weeks following the conclusion of the bootcamp.
Bootcampfees are to be paid in full upon receipt of the acceptance email. We accept various forms of payment including Check, Money Order, Visa, American Express, MasterCard, Direct Deposit, and Wire Transfer.
