High school students can successfully complete research projects in behavioral neuroscience and brain disorders through an online e-internship program. This program offers intellectual and professional benefits, demonstrating the viability of virtual scientific training.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Brain Disorders Research

Background:

  • Traditional summer internships present logistical challenges for high school students.
  • There is a need for accessible, high-quality research experiences in science for pre-college students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design and implementation of an online e-internship program.
  • To assess the feasibility and impact of virtual research projects for high school students.

Main Methods:

  • The BioScience Project developed an e-internship utilizing online platforms for research, teaching, and communication.
  • Students engaged in all research stages: question formulation, data collection/analysis, and scientific poster presentation.
  • Open-access databases, web tools, a learning management system, and Google apps were employed.
