FAQs

  • Yes. Several of our Faculty Advisors, including former ISEF judges, have direct competition experience and understand the expectations of high-level fairs.

  • Not a problem! Our mentors help students use publicly available datasets, simulation tools, or computational approaches — commonly used in physics, astronomy, and AI. However, we currently do not offer wet-lab access for the 2026 round.

  • You don’t necessarily need to have a project at hand. Students without a project idea will be guided through topic selection and research design.

  • Yes! We offer custom, limited packages for students who already have a project but want additional support.

  • Human subject or animal testing research would require pre-approval and IRB checks. Currently we do not support these subjects.

  • No research program can guarantee prizes at a competitive contest. However, we guarantee that our students receive thorough guidance and strong mentorship to help them achieve their best possible outcomes both at the fair and beyond, for example through publication submissions.
