Our custom-designed tools give students the power to explore Physics concepts like how mass distribution affects rotational inertia, how rotational inertia influences projectile motion, how size & weight distribution impact speed/acceleration, how density impacts design of underwater systems or what factors to consider in designing an efficient city.
You can choose one topic or more. This 3-4 week project per topic is 100% remote. We'll ship materials to your home, and you'll return them upon completion. This is an unpaid research opportunity.
What You’ll Do:
- Design experiments
- Collect and analyze data using the scientific method
- Compare different scenarios by changing variables
- Understand the connection between experimental physics and real-world engineering systems
- Publish a research report or presentation under the Maker Mindz Research Series. This will include relevant pictures and video recordings of your experiments.
What You’ll Learn:
- Deep understanding of different STEM topics
- Application of scientific method: forming hypotheses, testing, analyzing, and presenting results
- Improved skills in data collection, critical thinking, and STEM communication
- Experience conducting authentic research
What You’ll Get:
- Get featured on our website and YouTube channel
- Get submitted to regional or national STEM fairs
- Publish in Maker Mindz's student research journal
Who Can Apply:
- Middle & High school students (Grades 7–11) interested in physics, engineering or hands-on STEM research
- Individual students or student teams (2–4 students)
- Schools, educators, or STEM clubs looking to offer a unique, standards-aligned project
We’ll Provide:
- Maker Mindz tools/research kits
- Research guidebook
- Virtual mentorship sessions
- Editing and publishing support
Timeline:
- Rolling submissions (you can start anytime!)
- Project duration: 3-4 weeks from start to report completion
- Research report: Flexible/open to discussion
