Community & Access
A global essay competition that invites high-school students to develop an original argument of their own, defend it in writing and present it to an expert panel.
Community offerings keep students connected to real researchers and to the real venues where academic work happens. They include open competitions, live talks by experts, in-person experiences on site, and the need-based financial aid that keeps every program accessible to talented students who might otherwise be unable to take part.
01
Start by writing to us and telling us about the student's interests, their current grade and the outcome they are hoping to reach. Based on what you share, we recommend the program that fits best and the mentor match that suits the student most closely.
02
All programs run live online, either one-to-one or in small cohorts, and every student works with a named mentor drawn from top universities and from industry. Sessions are scheduled around the school timetable, so the program fits alongside regular studies rather than competing with them.
03
Every program ends with something concrete that the student can show to others. Depending on the program, that might be an original project, a certificate, a verifiable digital credential or a recommendation letter written by a mentor who has seen the student's work first-hand.
Live talks followed by question and answer sessions with academics and professionals who come from the world's leading universities and companies.
Webinar series, online
Opportunities for on-site laboratory experiences and access to a campus, extending the program beyond the screen and into a physical research environment.
In-person, add-on
Need-based financial aid, scholarships and cash awards that make D-LABS programs accessible to talented students whatever their financial means may be.
