The Ivy Scholars Research BootCamp is an intensive program designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of research. It blends the academic heritage of Ivy League 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 program are essential.

All participants who attend the BootCamp will receive the following:

  1. Certificate of Participation from Scholar Launch 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 professors or the Director of Student Innovation.
The program 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 program 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.
