Our program
Turn your ideas into research
We provide a guided research experience, from the first idea to a published computational essay.
Program components
Computational Essay Workshops
Develop your computational essay through guided workshops at each stage of the project.
Research Advisor Conferences
Present your work to faculty research advisors and receive feedback on your next steps.
Work Sessions
Work on your project with Wolfram Language support.
Computational Essay Showcase
Present your computational essay in a ten-minute talk to the campus community.
Support for your independent research
Faculty advising
Members are matched with a faculty research advisor by topic for guidance and feedback throughout the project.
Wolfram Language support
The club president provides technical support with Wolfram Language and computational essay writing.
External advisors
If your topic falls outside the faculty advisors’ expertise, request an external advisor through the member workspace.
Iterative feedback from mentors
Mentors help you refine your question, methods, and writing through feedback at each stage. Both your research proposal and final essay require approval from the club advisors and the club executives before publication.
