Summer Research Scholars Answer

By: Isa Garlough-Shah

Every summer, SMAHRT directs teens through a research project in the 6 week program Summer Research Scholars. In this virtual setting, teens get the chance not just to learn about research, but actually get to conduct their own project. They can analyze any subject as it relates to adolescents and social media; and as you’ll soon hear, the possibilities are endless. SMAHRT provides teens with a guided, organized program that allows them to collaborate with fellow teens and experienced researchers, but isn’t it better to hear from the source? In this video 5 of our first year Summer Scholars describe their experience with the program and the challenges and successes they’ve faced when producing their first research study.
