SROP offers a free, mentored research experience for high school students, culminating in a science symposium.
The Secondary Research Opportunities Program (SROP) is a 12-week program that connects high school students with university-level mentors to conduct original scientific research. Students will have the opportunity to create a capstone project of their choice, which can include a literature review, an experimental analysis, or a prototype for a novel technology. Weekly meetings with mentors and Seattle Science Lab staff guide students through project planning and execution. The program culminates in a science symposium where students present their work to peers. This program aims to provide in-depth exploration of scientific fields and foster the development of publishable or shareable deliverables.
Students dedicate approximately 6 hours per week to their projects, which includes meeting with their university mentor, meeting with Seattle Science Lab staff, and asynchronous work on their capstone project.
This program is ideal for high school students in grades 9-12 residing in Washington who have a strong interest in STEM and are seeking their first research experience.
