(Grades 7 - 8)



 Need it Fast?

Select from the projects that are in bold font.  

Project guide and information for projects that are not bold font in our list, must be prepared by a project advisors after you select them. This normally takes 3 to 4 weeks. If you are selecting a project that is not in bold font, make sure you have enough time to wait for project guide and also complete your project.



If you have selected your project for this school year, click on the link to access the page that contains startup information of your project. If that page is not updated or does not contain necessary information, let us know about your choice so we can enter or update the startup information for the project that you have selected.
Email your request with your membership ID number and allow 4 to 7 days for its completion. Startup information can be sent to you via e-mail only if for any reason you are not able to access the members' section of the website.
If you do not have much time for your project and need a priority support, discuss that with your project advisor via email. Project advisors will try to accommodate your needs as much as possible.
Basic members can view details of 3 projects and get support only on one project.

Can't find your project?

If you have a new project that is not listed here, we can assign you a dedicated project advisor to help you on gathering information and designing experiments. 

To use this service you need to upgrade your membership to active membership level. There is a $150 fee for each year that you request such upgrade. (Limited to one project per active member). You need to have at least 3 weeks time for your project advisor to gather information and design experiments.
