Students receive personalized one-on-one mentorship from PhDs from top global universities, culminating in a publishable-quality research paper and the opportunity to earn college credit from UC San Diego Extended Studies.
The Lumiere Research Scholar Program: Data Science Track offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in independent data science research. Students work one-on-one with PhD mentors from top universities, including Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and MIT, to develop and execute a research project. The program culminates in a college-level academic paper, which can be a significant asset for college applications and future academic pursuits.
Throughout the 12-week program, scholars explore cutting-edge topics in data science, refine research questions, develop robust methodologies, and receive personalized guidance on writing their research paper. The program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. Optional publication support is available for students interested in submitting their work to academic journals.
A typical day involves independent research work, virtual one-on-one mentorship sessions with a PhD scholar, and potentially participation in workshops on the research process.
This program is best for high-performing, intellectually curious high school students who are self-motivated and eager to conduct in-depth academic research under expert guidance.
