Why is research a valuable experience?
Why is research a valuable experience?
Participating in research offers a range of benefits that can enhance both academic and career success.
Strengthens college applications — Research demonstrates initiative, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to learning, helping students stand out in the admissions process. As Hank Dobin, Associate Dean of the College at Princeton University, notes: “Research is the lifeblood of our institution, and it's a good way to connect our faculty and students.”
Develops essential skills — Research helps students build critical competencies that are highly valued by employers, including teamwork, critical thinking, data analysis, and interpretation (Finley, 2021).
Prepares for future employment — Research experience provides practical training that can ease the transition from college to the workplace, equipping students with problem-solving abilities and real-world insights.
Doing real research and discovering new connections and phenomena is REAL, joyful learning
ABOUT Our Science Research Program
ABOUT Our Science Research Program
Long Beach offers a unique program providing highly motivated students the opportunity to perform authentic scientific research as part of their middle and high school experience. Research begins in the middle school where students are introduced to essential skill building, data collection, scientific writing, technology program learning and laboratory techniques.
Dedicated participants in our Research Program prepare for ISEF-affiliated fairs such as LISEF and NYSSEF. To receive an invitation to the ISEF competition, students must address a novel scientific question, often requiring the support of a mentor.
As seniors, researchers will have the opportunity to apply to the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the nation's oldest and most prestigious science research competition for high school students. Achieving a placement in this competition offers a significant platform for showcasing original research and is reviewed by a distinguished national panel of professional scientists.
