What is The Unicorn Labs’ high-school research mentorship program?

The Unicorn Labs is India’s first research platform for high-school students, pairing you 1:1 with PhD/industry mentors to complete a 12-week, structured project that culminates in a university-level paper, a 20-minute presentation, and a submission package (journal/competition/poster).

How does the 12-week research program work (week-by-week overview)?
  • Weeks 1–2: Topic, literature review, precise question
  • Weeks 2–4: Method design, data plan, pilot, ethics
  • Weeks 4–6: Data collection, analysis, iteration
  • Weeks 6–10: Writing, figures, citations
  • Weeks 10–12: Revisions, talk, submission package
    Weekly 1:1 check-ins keep you on track (~3–5 hrs/week).
Who are the mentors and how are they selected?

Mentors are PhD researchers and industry experts from top universities and companies. We shortlist mentors based on your topic, timeline, and goals, then confirm fit via a consult. Mentors are chosen for subject depth, coaching ability, and ethics.

Do I need prior research experience to join?

No. We start from first principles. If you’re curious, consistent, and ready for 3–5 hrs/week, we’ll teach the sequence from question → method → results → paper.

What topics can high-school students research with The Unicorn Labs?

STEM, humanities, and interdisciplinary projects including AI/ML, biology/health, behavioral economics, climate/policy, literature/media studies, and more. If you can frame a feasible, answerable, significant question, we’ll scope it.
