To grow as scientists, students need to conduct authentic research, yet they rarely have access to the infrastructure that supports such work and makes it possible. The Society of Teen Scientists(SoTS) was created to provide young scientists with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to conduct and disseminate research that contributes to the advancement of human knowledge.
1. Tools for Research
AI Research Mentor – Step-by-step guidance through the entire scientific process, from forming research questions to preparing manuscripts for publication
Personalized Research Profile – An automatically generated portfolio showcasing your ongoing work through progress reports, literature reviews, data visualizations, and more. It serves as authentic proof-of-work—perfect for college applications. Profiles are private by default—members share them only when they choose
2. Share Your Work
Proceedings of the Society of Teen Scientists (coming soon!) – A peer-reviewed scientific journal featuring original research articles written and reviewed by teen scientists.
World of Teen Science (now accepting submissions!) – Our digital popular science magazine featuring news articles and essays from our members.
note to readers: you can subscribe now to theSoTS newsletter, a monthly digest of articles published in the Proceedings and World.
3. Connect with the Scientific Community
Q&A Webinars with researchers from academia and industry
Annual Meeting (April 10, 2026) – Present your research, connect with peers, and network with scientists at our inaugural meeting held physically on the campus of New York University and virtually.
Research Opportunities – Learn about internships, summer programs, conferences, and other opportunities in members-only communications.
A preliminary estimate, and a request for better ones.
