K-12 RESEARCH PROJECT AND
PUBLICATION TRACK

How does the Research and Publication Program differ from the Premium Research Fellowship Program?

The Premium Research Fellowship Program sets itself apart from the Research and Publication Program in following aspects. Firstly, it includes comprehensive publication support for your final research paper. Secondly, it extends over a longer duration, allowing for a more in-depth research exploration and thus higher quality work. Thirdly, it offers almost double the contact hours with your dedicated research mentor. If you're aiming not just to produce and publish a paper but also to publish a high-quality research paper in your chosen field, the Premium Research Fellowship Program is the ideal choice for you.

What is the process of selecting the research topic? Is it necessary to have a specific topic beforehand?

Students entering our research program aren't required to have a well-defined research question, although some may. For all students, we anticipate that your research question will develop and become more precise as you engage with your research mentor. Your mentor serves as a guide for steering you toward the most productive path. We anticipate students will finalize a research question by the end of the first month, refining it with the guidance of their research mentor.

Is it possible to change my research topic or problem in the later stages of the program?

If a student wants to change their research topic late in the program, they should assess the feasibility of addressing the new area within the remaining time and create a plan with the research mentor to execute it. If it's not possible, they can proceed with the agreed-upon topic or explore an extension of the program. For any concerns, discuss this issue with the research mentor asap. 

Is it appropriate to request a letter of recommendation from my research mentor?

Following the completion of the program, your mentor will provide a grade for your research paper along with a brief evaluation. Many students discover that their mentor gains valuable insights into their academic abilities. So, it is OK to request a letter of recommendation. While it is entirely appropriate to request a recommendation letter from your mentor, keep in mind that they are not obligated to provide one. Their decision may be influenced by your performance throughout the program.

When can I expect my research to be published—before or after the program?

The publication process is highly competitive and rigorous, and no honest program can promise guaranteed publication. AIBrilliance cannot guarantee the publication of any student's work in its research programs. However, we support students by facilitating up to three submissions to conferences and journals and striving our best to help the student publish. We provide resources and support to motivated students who wish to continue working on their topics and explore potential publication opportunities with relevant research journals or conferences. Possible avenues include undergraduate science journals, high school science journals, and academic conferences. The publication process takes time so the research could be published during or after the program. 

How are the scheduling arrangements for one-on-one sessions made?

The research mentor will initiate contact through email or another mutually agreed platform to coordinate and establish a weekly schedule for eight weeks. Subsequently, the mentor will send a recurring invitation with a personal Zoom link, and this process repeats every subsequent eight weeks. Missed meetings can be rescheduled with a week's notice.

Do I need any particular laptop, computers, or software for attending online courses?

All you need are 1) desktop computer or laptop that has common internet browsers installed on them, 2) Decent internet connection that allows video streaming or video play, and 3) A microphone and headset combo that allows you to listen and speak during interactive sessions.

K-12 ONLINE BOOTCAMP

Who is this Bootcamp for?

This Bootcamp is designed for high school students in Grades level 9 to 12 (students who have at least completed 8th grade).

What will students learn in the Bootcamp?

Students will learn the basics of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Python programming concepts. The course is designed in an interactive, hands-on activity and project-based learning (PBL) model that encourages high school students to grasp fundamental concepts. Students will collect and analyze data to generate useful insights and even build simple AI and machine learning models. The focus is on foundational concepts and python programming for better understanding and knowledge.

How will instruction be delivered?

The instructions will be carried out in hybrid mode. The students will work through self-paced project-based online learning modules and will have the chance to join synchronous (live) lessons offered online (through zoom) during their enrollment in the Bootcamp. Additionally, our team will provide in-person support during specified office hours.

All you need are 1) a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet that has common internet browsers installed on them, 2) a decent internet connection that allows video streaming or video play, and 3) A microphone and headset combo that allows you to listen and speak during interactive sessions. All software that will be used in the Bootcamp is free and can be accessed through a web browser.

What level of coding knowledge is needed?

To participate, no coding knowledge is required – we will teach python as part of the camp. Google Collaboratory (free) will be used for running Python code.

Will I receive a certificate after the completion of a K-12 camp?

You will receive a certificate after the successful completion of the Bootcamp.

Do you offer any fee discounts or scholarships?

Yes, we have several categories of fee discounts for females, children of veterans, and group discounts for business organization-supported summer camps. Additionally, we also offer fully paid need-based scholarships to students to attend our Bootcamps. Please contact us for more details.

What if I need additional time to complete a given course?

We have structured our program to provide a cushion for additional time to learn the concepts and achieve their learning goals by the end of the course. However, exceptions are always there. We will make accommodations on a need basis.
