Nova is a standout program that high school students participate in by collaborating with renowned mentors in their research. My mentor, who is very well-informed, patient, and supportive, helped me through all the stages. The constructive comments they gave me allowed me to shape my research question and write a research paper that is well-structured. The way in which Nova mentors have one-of-a-kind expertise and commitment during every stage of the program truly amazes me. A program I find highly beneficial to any student looking for a challenging and successful research journey, so it can only be highly recommended!
I was very happy to have Nova as my coach! The course went on smoothly all the time without any action and my mentor was really going through the whole process with me. I was enjoying the fall-out time with the students and the feedback which helped me reengineer my own skills through the process of rehearsing. The situation was quite problematic, but, in the end, worth it, and it helped me to free of charge how to back up research that is correct and how to be a proper writer. For me, I can advise (I'd like to suggest) Nova to students that are always looking after research and that are looking for guidance in their journey
The research project was just great, wonderful! The mentorship was first-class—I was lucky to have a very knowledgeable, supportive mentor who not only assisted me throughout the whole time but also helped me to refine my research skills. I got a more comprehensive picture of my topic and adapted the structure of a professional research paper. The direction I got caused a big impact, and I am much more sanguine about my own ability to do independent research now. I can highly recommend it to those students who are seeking to challenge themselves academically!
The structure of this research program is perfect for high school students. It kept me on track without feeling overwhelming.
Didn't expect much at first, but this program was really good! Didn't really care about AI before but it's actually very important for music!
Would recommend to any student looking to build research skills before college.
Fantastic mentorship, my mentor guided me so well.
My mentor was awesome and really cared about my progress. 10/10 experience
We had an issue with our first mentor (our older son did research through Nova as well) but they very quickly found a new paper - I'm proud of what my daughter ended up writing! Was great to see what she can do when she puts her mind to it
I would recommend program
The structure made research so much easier!
This was an amazing experience for my daughter. The tutor was very smart made crafting papers easy. He helped them to gain essential skills needed to make a proper research and compile a well-structured, professional document. Also, I was impressed with the post-meeting recaps because those summaries kept me in the know regarding their progress and engagement in the program. In general, such a well-organized and enriching program—very much recommended
Nova checked in with me after the program had ended to do this review, which was a good thing for me. I was truly quite satisfied with the program, and, in the process, my mentor motivated me to think critically, develop my approach to the subject of my project, and exceed my limits beyond a previously believe state. Their advice was crucial to me to uptick my problem-solving skills and get a better understanding of law. The experience was beneficial, and I would not hesitate to make that recommendation to students who are interested in getting assistance and developing their skills in that field
What made my experience great was how interactive and enjoyable it felt. The program was truly engaging, making learning feel like an exciting journey rather than just another task.
The mentorship in this program was excellent—I was matched with a great mentor who taught me how to conduct research effectively and write a strong, structured paper. The skills I gained will be beneficial long-term, both in academics and in my future career. While the program is expensive, I believe the quality of mentorship and the experience make it worth considering for those serious about research.
This was quite a remarkable journey in mobile app development! The program got a cool mix of theory and the practice of coding, which enabled me to create a functional app from the ground up. The mentors, of course, were indispensable, they deftly escorted me through setbacks and coached me on how to improve my problem-solving abilities. I would like to recommend this course to those who want to acquire more complex app development skills, which will give them a good chance to have REAL USERS.

I felt like my mentor was great! We picked up a topic I knew nothing about before and he did a great job of leading me along without doing any of the work for me
I thought my project went well and my mentor was very helpful for me. He led me through all of the steps that I needed to complete quickly but also made sure that each part of the project was good.
I definitely felt supported by my mentor and learned a lot of things that I normally wouldn't have if I'd just written a paper on my own.
I can now breakdown scientific journal articles and extract important information from them. I had found it difficult to read through academic papers, but now I can view research data critically and apply them to my own research.
My work on the manuscript taught me about the importance of being clear and precise with my words. I had to rewrite the manuscript several times, which improved my ability as a communicator. The skills I learned through this process will help me in my education at college and medical school!
I became much more confident about research through this program. I will submit my research project to one or more national science fairs, and I am also considering branching out the research project into a larger study. I never thought I would have such a strong interest for doing research!
The process of collaborating on a publication was a significant learning opportunity for me. I learned how to lay out my manuscript properly, how to address constructive criticism from reviewers, and how to organize my findings for final presentation. It was a very difficult process, but it was good to be supported
Wilson was able to provide me with an easier explanation of complicated concepts. He broke statistical methods down into simplified explanations so data analysis was less overwhelming for me. I learned more from him than from my stats class (and was more fun!)
Working on my research project gave me a much greater understanding of my research topic than I had learned from school. I read numerous research papers, derived out of these papers key insights, and now developed my own research argument. The challenge was difficult, however, it did make me a more self-assured and capable researcher
The best part of the program was working with Carrie. She always challenged me to dig deeper with my research question and pushed me to constantly refine my ideas. She has really made a huge difference in my confidence as a researcher through her mentorship
The program was genuinely helpful, and I felt consistently supported by my mentor throughout the process. His guidance was instrumental in organizing my research paper, which made the work much clearer for me. Overall, I’m grateful for the experience and feel fortunate I had the chance to participate.
FIrst of all, it was exciting. I never imagined I'd learn so many new things from writing just one research paper - from data analysis and R language to macroeconomic processes and stock market. Though I spent a lot of time on running statistical tests, in the end it paid off, and now I have a much clearer picture of the general area of this study that will help me in further intellectual pursuits.
The program was a great experience overall! I felt that throughout the weeks where I met with my mentor, I was able to be productive and get a lot of work done. I learned a lot of new things through this program!
My mentor Prasheetha was super great and very accommodating!
I felt very well supported. My mentor was thorough and very helpful at each point of the process.
The program was very helpful for me because it gave me a structured timeline where I was complete my research paper productively. I felt well supported by my mentor because I was gaining very helpful feedback and tips on how to move forward in the process of building my research.
I felt well supported throughout my research process and my mentor was knowledgable.
It was very fun and I loved my mentor Isaac. He was an incredible mentor and very supportive, as well as a good person to talk to.
