Future Forward Labs provides personalized one-on-one mentorship with PhD-level experts who specialize in the student's chosen area of robotics or AI, leading to original research projects with tangible outcomes like publishable papers or science fair submissions.
Future Forward Labs offers a Robotics Research Program where high school students engage in one-on-one mentorship with PhD-level experts. The program focuses on developing original robotics or AI research projects, moving beyond typical camp-style programs with fixed curricula. Students work on their own research questions, with potential outcomes including publishable papers, science fair submissions, and working prototypes. The program emphasizes developing scientific methodology, technical writing, and lab skills relevant to competitions like ISEF and Regeneron. It aims to provide students with demonstrated depth in STEM, which is highly valued by selective universities. Students can choose from various research tracks, including circuits, signals, embedded systems, and robotics, and are paired with a mentor whose doctoral work aligns with their chosen discipline. The program is designed to help students build something of their own with expert guidance, fostering independent thought and self-directed learning.
A typical day involves independent work on a student's research question, complemented by regular one-on-one video calls with their PhD mentor to set goals and discuss progress.
This program is best for curious middle and high school students who are serious about robotics and AI, ready to move beyond team-based competitions, and aiming for selective STEM competitions and universities.
