The program offers personalized 1:1 PhD-level mentorship to guide students through an original aerospace research project, culminating in a serious, portfolio-ready deliverable with optional publication support.
The Aerospace Research Fellowship is a mentor-guided program for high school students interested in aerospace engineering, aviation safety, autonomous drones, satellite data, space systems, and human spaceflight. Students work one-on-one with a PhD-level mentor to conduct an original research project, moving from a broad interest to a focused, investigable research question. The program emphasizes real analysis, utilizing public datasets, technical reports, simulations, or system comparisons. Participants develop skills in research methodology, data analysis, scientific writing, and technical communication. The fellowship culminates in a serious deliverable such as a research paper, technical poster, or presentation, with optional support for journal publication. This experience is designed to provide a strong capstone or research project for college applications and STEM portfolios.
A typical day involves students working independently on their research project, guided by their mentor through one-on-one or small-group online sessions, focusing on defining research questions, reviewing literature, designing experiments, analyzing data, and developing their final deliverable.
This fellowship is best for motivated high school students (grades 10-12, with motivated 9th graders considered) who desire a serious capstone or research project in aerospace and are interested in fields like engineering, computer science, physics, policy, medicine, climate, or space science.
