The research of 28 gifted high school students was the focus of the Mentorship Program Information Night held Wednesday, Oct. 25 in Sean O’Sullivan Lecture Hall. Students had the opportunity to each share two-minute PowerPoint presentations summarizing their research projects with Brock mentors, graduate students, fellow protégés, teachers and parents.
The annual event marks the first of two presentations by mentorship students as part of Brock’s long-running Science Mentorship program. Introduced more than 20 years ago, the program is designed for students who demonstrate significant scientific curiosity and are capable of working independently. Twenty-two faculty members will lend their expertise to the students’ research projects which span eleven subject areas, including Physics, Biological Sciences, Psychology, Electronics, Chemistry, Child and Youth Studies, Earth Sciences, Health Sciences, Kinesiology and new this year, Geography and Business.
From reconstructing historical fires, recording physics videos and creating guitar tuners to researching sleep quality and insect mills, the students spoke excitedly about their projects. In February, final research findings will be presented by the largest group of students to date during the Mentorship Symposium Event. Designed to mirror the format used at professional science conferences, protégés will complete 20-minute presentations followed by a 10-minute question and answer period.
