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!

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!

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

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.

And, even more student testimonials

My mentor, Gwen, was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process. She helped me understand complex statistical methods and guided me through data analysis. I wouldn’t have been able to complete my project without her guidance

The publication process was a learning experience in itself. I learned how to format my paper, address reviewer feedback, and present my findings in a structured way. It was challenging but incredibly rewarding in the end.

My favorite part of the program was getting to work on a topic I was genuinely passionate about. Having the freedom to explore a question I cared about made the research process exciting and fulfilling. It felt like I was contributing something meaningful to the field.

I had never considered a career in environmental science before this program. Learning about data-driven climate research showed me how impactful this field is, and now I’m seriously considering pursuing it. It was an experience that completely changed my perspective.

Submitting my research for publication was both nerve-wracking and rewarding. Going through multiple rounds of edits helped me refine my writing skills and strengthen my arguments. When my work was finally accepted, it was an incredible feeling

Hear from our parents

This program went beyond anything we could have hoped for. My child entered with an interest in AI but left with a fully developed research paper, coding experience, and a clear academic direction. Their mentor provided not just technical guidance but also genuine encouragement and career insights, making this an invaluable learning experience

Watching my child go from feeling uncertain about research to confidently presenting their findings was incredible. The structured mentorship helped them grasp AI concepts, learn coding, and develop an original project that she and her team  are now submitting for competitions. The level of growth and output was beyond what we imagined, and we couldn’t be prouder.

I was amazed by the depth of research my child conducted in this program. With guidance from their mentor, they analyzed patient case studies, worked with real medical datasets, and learned about epidemiological trends—experiences that felt like something out of a medical school curriculum. The mentorship not only expanded their knowledge but also gave them a strong foundation for their future as a physician-scientist.

This program exceeded our expectations by guiding my child through the process of writing a legal research paper on digital privacy laws. Their mentor provided insights on case law, policy analysis, and academic writing, helping them produce a paper that they are now submitting to a student law journal. This experience has given them a significant advantage as they prepare for a future in law.
