The Research Program at Bronx Science 

Wanted: Mentors

As more schools participate in Intel, the competition for mentors gets tougher.
>>>   Can your Lab or University Mentor a Bronx Science Student?  <<<

Each year about 80 students enter the Bronx Science research program, a
3-year sequence that provides motivated kids with in-depth experience doing research. 
After a year spent reading professional papers in their area of interest and learning basic
research techniques, the students select a topic for a long-term project.

We need your help finding great mentors for sophomores now embarking on their research. Physical science and biology students need access to sophisticated labs and dynamite scientists; they commit to working two summers at the mentor's institution.  High quality social science and math mentors are also in demand.

If you would like to view or download the "Research at Bronx Science"
brochure please click here.

Got ideas? Contacts? E-mail or call Dr. Jean Donahue at jdonahu@schools.nyc.gov  or (718) 817-7714.

Please also be aware of Naviance - this is is an extremely valuable tool which you should know about  even if your child is Freshman.  Students use it to register for classes and for help with collges. All students have accounts and parents have access also either through your child's account or (limited) as a guest.  Your child should have information on how you can access Naviance.


Bronx Science Students and their Families know this school better than anyone.

Please share your best ideas about aspects of the school and/or your student's experience that could be improved in the coming year by filling out this form.

The results of this informal year-end survey will be made available to the school community in September.
