IRIS Science Research Academy 2025-26 Launch
The IRIS (Institute for Research in Schools) initiative brings cutting-edge scientific research into students’ hands.
Through IRIS projects, students work with real data from fields such as astronomy, genetics, climate science, and engineering—contributing to genuine research efforts alongside scientists and universities.
These projects not only deepen students’ understanding of STEM subjects but also build critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. By engaging in authentic inquiry, students see how science works in the real world and discover their potential to make meaningful contributions to it.
We are very excited to be working on these IRIS projects again and looking forward to seeing the fantastic work our students produce!
