Science Coach Virtual

Science Coach Virtual is a year-long science research class for exceptional 6th-12th grade students who want to conduct advanced authentic research with the guidance of an experienced coach.

It’s designed for motivated students with a strong interest in scientific research who don’t have a research class at their school. The class is built around completing a high-level, self-led research project to enter into science competitions. Each student
selects their own research topic, creates the hypothesis, develops the methodology, conducts the testing, writes the report and presentation, and enters at least one competition.
