Honor and Recognition
Are you looking for peers who are genuinely interested in using science to understand the world around them? With so much noise about resume building for college admissions, endless tests, and fast-paced skim through classes, they're hard to find.
Membership is gained through a fit evaluation and maintained through ongoing work. Every semester, we ask: "What have you been doing?"
A conversation with a person. Are we right for each other? (evaluation fee applies)
In any form. Use SoTS resources. Track your progress. Interact with the SoTS community.

A living credential that signals real work. Shows fit evaluation entry, presentation history, and ongoing membership status. Not a receipt — a reputation.
Purpose-built software guidance system, exclusively for SoTS members. Elevates your thinking, doesn't replace it.
Short courses teaching practical scientific skills and tools via Zoom. Statistics, computational modeling, machine learning.
Start a research club at your school as part of our Club Network. Access the club leaders discussion group for support from SoTS leadership and other club founders.
Every 3 months, present to 5-6 system-assigned SoTS members. Practice presenting, expand your network, get peer feedback from others who understand research.
Multidimensional science magazine. Science writing, fiction, art, music, and gaming analysis. Submissions can qualify for annual contests with cash prizes.
Peer-reviewed research journal. Submit original discoveries, replications, and methods. Review work from fellow teen scientists and build your reviewer reputation. Open access with DOI.
