Students receive one-on-one mentorship from Ph.D. researchers from top universities and have the opportunity to produce a college-level research paper, with optional support for journal publication and college credit from UC San Diego Extended Studies.
The Lumiere Research Scholar Program's Data Science Track offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in independent research. Over 12 weeks, students work one-on-one with a Ph.D. mentor from a top university, gaining expertise in their chosen data science topic. The program guides students through the entire research process, from refining a research question and conducting a literature review to developing a methodology and writing a comprehensive research paper. Students will learn to collect, organize, and analyze data using computational and statistical methods, and interpret results to draw meaningful insights. The program culminates in a college-level academic paper and a presentation at the Lumiere Research Symposium. Optional publication support is available for students interested in submitting their work to academic journals. This experience helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and advanced academic writing skills, preparing them for competitive university admissions and future STEM careers.
A typical day involves independent research work, including reading, writing, and data analysis, complemented by scheduled one-on-one sessions with a Ph.D. mentor and writing coach.
This program is best for highly motivated high school students with a strong academic background and genuine interest in exploring data science through an in-depth, independent research project.
