Mission

Project: Researchify empowers students to explore real-world research by providing personalized science fair coaching. We help students—from beginners to seasoned competitors—develop projects with real impact.
We aim to democratize access to research, foster hands-on STEM learning, and promote competitive excellence through one-on-one guidance, summer workshops, and year-round support.

How It Works

Through this program:

  • Students work 1-on-1 with experienced mentors, including ISEF qualifiers and published researchers.

  • Workshops over the summer help students design, test, and launch their project ideas.

  • Year-round support includes help with project presentation, report writing, and even publishing in journals like IEEE.

  • We prepare students for top competitions such as California State Science Fair, ISEF, and Junior Thermo Fisher Challenge.

Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your next big idea, STEMified will support you from ideation to presentation—completely free.

  • We support a wide range of fields, including environmental science, AI/ML applications, biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics, behavioral science, and more. Don’t see your idea listed? Bring it to us—we’ll help you shape it into a strong project.

  • Summer prep classes begin in late July and run through late August (e.g., 7/28, 8/1, 8/5, 8/9, 8/13, 8/17, 8/21, 8/25). Year-round mentorship continues remotely with regular check-ins tailored to your science fair timeline.

  • We offer live sessions on experimental design, data analysis, presentation building, and journal submission. 1-on-1 mentorship guides students from project ideation through fair submission.

  • For students aiming for competitive fairs like ISEF or Junior Thermo Fisher, we offer premium mentorship:

    • Help with publishing IEEE-style papers

    • Application prep for top-tier competitions

    • Individualized experimental planning and review

  • Are you a high school student with science fair experience? Apply to join our mentorship team and help the next generation of researchers. Leadership opportunities and training included.
