Project Q2 is a FREE youth-led organization that is dedicated to supporting high school students in developing their research skills and gaining the knowledge needed to succeed in academic and professional fields. Our vision is to empower students to become critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and effective communicators by providing resources, guidance, and mentorship throughout their research journeys. We aim to bridge the gap between the classroom and real-world applications, fostering curiosity and academic growth. Unfortunately, the reality for many high school students is that research programs and opportunities are limited or often inaccessible. Current school programs tend to focus more on standardized testing and basic coursework, leaving little room for the development of independent research skills. As a result, students often lack the resources, guidance, and mentorship necessary to engage in meaningful research. This can stifle creativity, reduce opportunities for personal growth, and ultimately hinder students from reaching their full potential. Project Q2 seeks to change that by providing students with the tools and opportunities to explore their passions and push the boundaries of their education.
