Up Next Scientists

We have some exciting news for you: Our Visual Research Department is excited to announce our first ever research competition, the Visual Lab Quest!  Through this 5-week virtual program held every Sunday at 10:00-10:40 AM PST from November 17-December 15, participants will learn how to research about a lab experiment in a STEAM subject of their choice, how to aesthetically showcase their findings on a research presentation, and how to confidently speak about the project to a panel of judges.  At the end of the 5 weeks, the presentations will be judged and cash prizes will be awarded - regardless of the decision, all presentations will be published on our website and social media, and all participants will receive volunteer hours and certificates.  This program is perfect for those of you wanting to grow your graphic design and creativity skills, improve your presentation skills, and dive deep into the world of STEM, Research, and Experiments.  Applications close in around a month, November 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST for notification by November 13, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. Our Orientation session will be on November 17, 2024, at 10:00 AM PST, through Zoom.  Here is the link which will take you to the application: https://lnkd.in/gdH5zcTh

HEYY FUTURE SCIENTISTS! Up Next Scientists is thrilled to announce our first Writers’ Lab, a 6-week long virtual program designed to provide one on one mentorship to students just starting off in the field of scientific literature. Participants of this selective program will be mentored by members of our Literary Research commission in the process of creating a piece of scientific literature, whether it be a systematic review, experimental research article, or more. Besides the program orientation and conclusion meeting, lessons will be asynchronous, and participants will schedule 1on1 meetings with their paired mentor at times convenient for them. In the end, we will publish the articles on our website as well as help the writer find publication on other peer reviewed, formal journals!
