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.
Show real work twice a year. One empty reevaluation = out.
A living credential that signals real work. Shows fit evaluation entry, presentation history, and ongoing membership status. Not a receipt — a reputation. After acceptance, you will receive instructions on how to regularly submit your research journey materials.
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.
Present and network at SoTS events (first Science Conference for Teenagers: Fall, 2026 in Princeton, NJ and virtual).
Get a chance to peer review manuscripts submitted to Proceedings of SoTS (Journal). Build your reviewer reputation and learn how rigorous science gets vetted.
Purpose-built software guidance system. Designed by scientists and grounded in research pedagogy. Elevates your thinking, doesn't replace it. Runs on your computer. Free for individual use, no membership required.
Multi-year physics curriculum for grades 7–12, taught by expert physicists using the Deep Physics methodology. Semester-long courses for high school and middle school, year-round.
Short courses teaching practical scientific skills and tools in Princeton. Statistics, computational modeling, machine learning, microscopy, spectroscopy.
Real, immersive research experience with peer learning and accomplished educators. Princeton, NJ.
Multidimensional science magazine. Science writing, fiction, art, music, and comedy. Submissions are the entry path for our annual contests.
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.
